About this home

STEP INTO ROXBURY'S RICH PAST IN THIS LOVINGLY RESTORED 1890 VICTORIAN COTTAGE: Nestled in the heart of the Roxbury Historic District, this charming 1890 Victorian cottage offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history—authentically preserved. With its classic gingerbread trim, original woodwork, and mostly hardwood floors throughout, this enchanting 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, beginning with a cozy foyer that opens into a sunlit living room, then flows into a den or 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—each space inviting you to imagine candle lit evenings and stories shared over generations. UPSTAIRS, you’ll find four light-filled bedrooms, a full bath, and a dedicated laundry room. A pull-down attic offers standing-height storage, perfect for stashing seasonal décor or vintage finds. 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 historic Roxbury Golf Course, once part of the historic Jay Gould estate. Whether you're hiking, golfing, or dining at the Stone Tavern at Shepherd Hills, the area’s rich legacy is woven into every experience. This is not just a home—it’s a living heirloom, a one-of-a-kind treasure for those who value history, architecture, and timeless character
