44 South Street, Roxbury, CT, 06783

FoxCroft exudes simple elegance. She stands proudly mid block on South Street, the center of town where children bounce house to house trick or treating. Tucked on this quiet street lined with giant gracious old Maples, Oaks and stone walls. It appears time has stood still in Roxbury, in the very best way. The property is rare in that it seemingly has space for everything. A heated pool, studio, large three car garage, guest house and pond. Also giving clues to its past: an ice and well house. This house is short on nothing. Most of all, charm. This 1792 Colonial Farmhouse has certainly stood the test of time, and oh, the stories it would tell. Enter into the living room flanked by two massive fireplaces, lit up by a grand window. It's easy to imagine spending holidays with the fireplaces blazing. The dining room provides a moody space to enjoy dinner in front of yet another intimate fireplace, hewn beams accent the ceiling. The sunroom provides a space to read a book on a Fall afternoon surrounded by windows filled with the changing colors of the season. Built in bookshelves stand at the edge of the space for decor and beloved trinkets. The chic and updated kitchen provides modern amenities including a six burner Viking stove and a SubZero refrigerator. Connected to the kitchen is a pantry with ample storage and a place to tuck away kitchen goods. A front and back staircase connect you to the second level. Upstairs has three ensuite bedrooms. A true sanctuary, the primary has an ensuite bath, large walk in closet, bonus space and fireplace. Guests will enjoy their choice of two other bedrooms, both ensuite and one with a fireplace. The darling guest house was once a one room schoolhouse. Enter and prepare to be awestruck. The gray and white checkered floors, wood burning fireplace and sunny sitting room is both charming and functional. The space also includes an additional bedroom, small kitchenette and full bath. The heated pool provides a space of both entertainment and retreat on the property. Beyond the pool are perennial gardens and the original ice house that could be used for garden storage or a playhouse. The studio provides the ultimate work from home space. The dry erase material adorns the walls for note making, and brainstorming. The space has high ceilings and hewn beams and ample light. The attached half bath also has an additional washer/dryer. The property gives space to explore. Head to the pond through the perennial gardens. Or hike through the back field through your own meadow of serenity. FoxCroft beckons its next steward to begin its next chapter.
