5 Herrick Rd

This quintessential New England gentleman’s farm in beautiful East Boxford has been owned by the same family for generations and is now available for the very first time. The original pre-Civil War two-story post-and-beam barn was restored and remains while the original c.1660 center-entrance colonial was razed, and a classic Cape-style house designed by Merton S. Barrows of Royal Barry Wills was built in its place in 1969. The property directly abuts the 95-acre Herrick Forest and is comprised of 4± bucolic acres featuring fieldstone walls, mature plantings and gardens, fenced-in hard-surface tennis court and swimming pool with pool cabana. The thoughtfully designed three-bedroom home offers the charm and character one would expect from a much older home as it was built incorporating the wood paneling, exposed beams, and bricks from the original house along with period details such as beaded wainscotting, rustic wide plank pine flooring, 12 over 12 wood sash windows and several Dutch-style doors. A brand new Western Red Cedar Roof has just been completed along with new cedar siding on the main house. Subject to the division from the existing parcel. Also available on 8.47+ acres see MA3631.
