About Property

Set on South Street in the heart of Roxbury, FoxCroft is a classic 1792 Colonial farmhouse on a generous parcel of land. The property includes a heated pool, guest house, studio, 3 car garage with hayloft, and a pond, as well as remnants of its history: an old ice house and a well house. Inside, original fireplaces anchor each of the main rooms, including a large central fireplace with a bread oven. The sunroom opens to views of the surrounding trees and offers a quiet spot to read or work. Built-in shelves and exposed beams appear throughout, balancing simplicity with style.The kitchen has been updated with a six-burner Viking stove, Bosch dishwasher, and SubZero refrigerator, and connects to a butler's pantry for storage and utility. Front and back staircases lead upstairs to 3 ensuite bedrooms with lots of closet space. The primary suite includes a fireplace, walk-in closet, and a bonus room that could serve as a study or dressing room. The guest cottage, once a schoolhouse with cubbies, offers its own living space with a bedroom, sitting area, and full bath. The studio nearby includes a half bath, separate laundry, and flexible open space under high ceilings, ideal for creative, remote work or a play space. Outdoors, the land invites exploration. There are perennial gardens, a meadow, a pond that used to be Roxbury's town skating pond, and shaded paths among old trees and stone walls.FoxCroft is a place to settle in, or to get away. It's ready for its next chapter.
