About This Home
Tucked away on the Boxford line, this rare retreat offers a private woodland escape while remaining minutes to shopping, dining, commuter routes, and Boston access via I-95 or I-93.

Beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, skylights, rich wood detail with wood milled from the property’s own felled trees, Rumford fireplaces, and wood-burning stoves create comfort and charm. The main level features a large eat-in kitchen with island, pantry, fireplace, and deck access, plus spacious living and family rooms, private office, bedroom suite, two full baths and first-floor laundry. Upstairs offers two bedrooms and full bath. A separate bonus suite with bedroom, bath, living and eating space; walk-out lower level; and recent updates including roof, skylights, windows, carpet, paint and garage doors complete this versatile retreat.
