This impeccably renovated 1792 Colonial is one of Roxbury's most elegant in-town properties. With 6+ level acres, this handsome 4-bedroom, 3 ½ bath home has been upgraded with modern amenities yet retains many of its original antique features, including five fireplaces and hardwood floors. The house has several gracious living areas, including an inviting living room and formal dining room featuring mural walls. The large sunroom is perfect for summer entertaining and exits to a granite patio. The completely renovated kitchen features Viking appliances and overlooks a large skating pond. A few steps away from the main house is a charming guesthouse, which served as the former 19th century Roxbury schoolhouse. It contains a bedroom, full bath, sitting room, and yet another fireplace. Behind the guesthouse is a heated pool with stone terrace surround. The land is adorned with beautiful meadow-stone walls, a brick terrace, and formal gardens. The grounds also feature several out buildings, including a well house, ice house, two red barns, and scenic meadows and mature trees. This truly gracious and comfortable home is filled with history and perfect for year round enjoyment. With Roxbury long been known for its famous literary inhabitants, the home was once owned by Manfred Lee, author of the Ellery Queen detective series, and was once the home of Lindsay Law, founder of PBS’ American Playhouse.
