Inside you will find 3 large bedrooms and 2 ½ baths have been recently renovated along with the gas heating and septic systems, roof, windows and more! The kitchen offers original flair complete with a functioning in-wall stereo/turntable that is wired throughout the home with surround sound. Located in quiet Boxford, offering some of the highest rated public schools around, this country setting is conveniently located between RT95/495.
