Property Description

STEP INTO ROXBURY'S RICH PAST IN THIS LOVINGLY RESTORED 1890 HISTORIC HOME: Located on Main Street across from the bucolic Kirkside Park and outside of any FEMA designated flood zones, this authentically preserved 2000 sq ft Victorian cottage exudes charm. Featuring original detail, gingerbread trim and hardwood floors throughout, this lovely home reflects the craftsmanship and elegance of a bygone era while benefiting from thoughtful updates that are in keeping with the original flavor of the home. THE MAIN LEVEL features a graceful circular floor plan, opening into a sunlit living room, then flows into a den/office, and continues into a spacious eat-in kitchen with a convenient half bath tucked to the side. From there, the flow wraps around to a formal dining room and finally into a parlor, currently used as a music room. Within the two central rooms you'll find the original floor-to-ceiling built in cabinetry. UPSTAIRS, you'll find four light-filled bedrooms, a full bath and a dedicated laundry room. A pull-down attic offers standing-height storage. OUTSIDE, covered front and back porches invite you to relax and enjoy the quiet charm of the village. The private backyard, with its mature perennial gardens, leads to a former carriage barn, adding character and potential for creative use. One of Roxbury's most beloved features lies just across the street--the PUBLIC PARK AND SCENIC TRAIL SYSTEM that winds up the hillside to the legendary Shepherd Hills Golf Course, once part of the historic Jay Gould estate. Whether you're hiking, golfing or skiing, the area's rich legacy is woven into every experience.
