A tree-lined drive leads to Boxwood Farm, a wonderfully romantic property that feels lifted from the pages of an English novel, even though downtown Princeton is just four miles away. Fenced fields and protected woods surround nearly ten acres dotted with magnificent trees, from maples to magnolia. Lush lawns and seasonal blooms surround the sun-drenched pool, while shady stone terraces invite long summer meals. The single-story manor home overflows with character - arched built-ins, seven fireplaces and countless French doors lining rooms arranged around a central courtyard. The living room is made for gatherings, the dining room for parties and the cozy family room for settling in. The recently renovated kitchen is a standout with Miele appliances, smooth wood-grained cabinetry and an expansive quartz-topped island. A raised brick hearth and deep window seat make the breakfast area a natural spot for unhurried weekend mornings. All five bedrooms have private bathrooms and direct access to the outdoors, with one suite currently used as an office. The primary suite occupies the entire rear wing with a spacious sitting room and customized walk-in closet. Steps away, the carriage house includes a three-room guest apartment and four garage bays, while a charming barn adds yet another layer of possibility for hobbies, projects or country pursuits. Boxwood Farm offers the rare chance to write the next chapter of a one-of-a-kind property with exceptional privacy and boundless potential.
