c1840 Charles Glover House

Location. Historic. Architectural. Iconic. Rarely does such a superb property come to market. Located on one of the most picturesque country roads in Roxbury, this c.1840 Greek Revival has undergone thoughtful additions over the years — combining architectural integrity with gracious modern living.

Eight acres of level land abuts Roxbury Land Trust and consists of mostly open meadows that provide a serene and whisper-quiet setting with pollinator pathways. A historically significant English bank barn, in-ground pool, tennis court, pond, mature trees, and established gardens are just a few of the features that create country living to perfection.

The 5-bedroom house is perfectly sited to catch the sun, thus many of the rooms are bathed in light. The interior features a central fireplace surrounded by public rooms, including a formal dining room, library, and a family room open to the cook’s kitchen and patio -– making entertaining a breeze. The primary bedroom on the main floor is en suite and has its own private wing with walk-in closet and all amenities. Upstairs there are four additional bedrooms –one with a fireplace — and a full bath. Throughout the home are wide board floors, architectural details reflecting the period, and a sense of historic integrity.

This property has been lovingly cared for by the same family for many years. The care is obvious wherever one looks. This is a property for the ages — the picture-perfect essence of New England just 90 minutes from NYC.
