ROXBURY
"The
Cooperage" is a remarkable 1812 farmhouse on a quiet, dead-end town road.
Untouched original was first renovated in 1985, with several enhancements
since. The interior is open with exposed beams and wide-board floors. The
rooms flow around a massive central chimney with 4 working fireplaces,
with original cabinets above the mantel and brick oven in the living room.
Bright eat-in kitchen has granite counters and top appliances. The large
fireplace in the lower walk-out level is where the original owner made
his barrels. That same lower level is now a fully finished living space
with library, and guest suite. The tranquil 4.7-acre grounds are pure Roxbury,
with massive sugar maples shading the stone terrace and ledge outcroppings
making a perfect setting for gardens. A heated pool is set above the house
in total privacy. There's garaging and storage in the barn with loft, or
it could be made into a studio.
