This quintessential New England gentleman’s farm in bucolic East Boxford, owned by the same family for generations, is now available for the very first time. The pre-Civil War two-story post-and-beam barn was restored while the original c.1660 colonial was razed, and a classic Cape designed by Merton Barrows of Royal Barry Wills was built in its place in 1969. The property consists of 4± acres and features stone walls, mature landscaping, a tennis court and swimming pool with cabana. The thoughtfully designed 3 bedroom home offers the charm and character one would expect from a much older home as it was built incorporating the wood paneling, exposed beams, and bricks from the original house along with period details such as wainscotting, wide plank flooring, 12x12 wood sash windows and several Dutch doors. A new Western Red Cedar roof has just been completed along with new cedar siding. Subject to the division from the existing parcel. Also available on 8.4± acres see MLS#72924114
