http://www.RobbCohen.com  - Overlooking the headwaters of the Parker River, this stunning contemporary has it all: superbly designed space in an open layout, a beautiful wooded site, and a location in the North Shore’s most desirable town.


Boxford is the town everyone wants to move to

Incorporated in 1685 as a substantial farming community, Boxford is a suburban town that still feels rural. With a lower-than-low crime rate, a high median household income, first-rate public schools, many acres of parks and open land, it is considered an ultimate place to live and to bring up a family. Boxford is heavily forested and intersected by streams and brooks, many of which empty into the Ipswich River; there are also a number of ponds. A network of scenic hiking trails weaves through the town. The village centers have an impressive collection of well-preserved historic houses, yet, for all its bucolic and historic charm, Boxford is only a half hour from Boston. With three exits leading into the town, Route 95 crosses the eastern end of Boxford, making travel easy in all directions.

Conservation land surrounds this home
In a verdant community, this home is especially well located. Set back from Parish Lane, its driveway winds through wooded, landscaped grounds until it arrives at a three-building compound. The main house is situated on a rise above the headwaters of the Parker River, resulting in lovely views of woods and water. Wildlife abounds.

Those headwaters are on protected conservation land, which means that this home’s extraordinary privacy and views are ensured for the future.

Creative and sensitive landscaping on a large lot
Along the winding driveway, sculptural installations among the lawns, trees, and shrubbery create engaging views. The six-acre lot is beautifully landscaped, with especially creative uses of azaleas, blueberries, rhododendrons, ornamental trees, perennials, and native plants. 

The driveway approaches the front of the garage/studio/screened porch and the main house. Directly behind the main house is a broad pool deck, which includes a spa and an outdoor shower; the swimming pool has a retractable cover. 

Stunning contemporary home
New England does not have many striking examples of modern architecture: this is certainly one of the best of them. Designed with an open layout and multiple levels, it has many of the hallmarks of the Modern Movement, including windows that are walls of glass, sculpted and curved walls, open staircases with cantilevered treads, a triangular bay projecting from the side of the house, and bright white interior walls. 

Details of the Main Home
The 5,417 gross square foot home offers 4,718 square feet of living area with 4 oversized bedrooms and 3 1/2-baths. Updates include: A new roof installed four years ago. A new generator installed November 2018 is capable of providing electricity to all of both buildings, functions automatically and comes on in the event of a power failure. The heat and air conditioning system was newly installed two years ago. The well water is treated with a water softener and filtered. The electric service is 200 amps.
