The residence
Historic character. Generous, modern living.
Set behind a graceful approach on 3.09 acres, 151 Washington Street brings the ease of an expansive country property to one of Boxford’s most established roads.
The home’s 1929 origins lend warmth and character, while thoughtful additions create approximately 6,437 square feet for gathering, working, hosting and retreating. Sunlit rooms, hardwood floors, finely worked ceilings and a two-sided wood-burning fireplace give the house an inviting rhythm. Multiple living zones allow everyday life to feel relaxed, even when the house is full.
01
Made for gathering
Few homes allow serious culinary work and generous entertaining to coexist so naturally. During its time in the care of a food magazine editor, these rooms have supported recipe development, editorial photo shoots and tasting parties with remarkable ease. A Wolf cooking suite—including an induction cooktop that can bring water to a boil in about 90 seconds, double wall ovens and a drawer microwave—anchors the main kitchen. Extensive Sub-Zero refrigeration and a dedicated scullery provide the capacity to prepare, stage and host on an uncommon scale, while generous seating keeps guests comfortably close to the experience.
- Two full-size refrigerators, two freezers and multiple refrigerator drawers
- Two oversized sinks, two dishwashers and a trash compactor
- Dedicated scullery for preparation, staging and cleanup
- Wolf cooking appliances and Sub-Zero refrigeration

Rooms with a point of view
The two-sided fireplace creates a warm dialogue between the hearth room and the den. Built-in bookcases and a pressed-tin ceiling give the den its own distinct character; glass doors and a dedicated exhaust fan allow it to serve equally well as a secluded cigar or smoking room. Nearby, the dining room opens directly to the wraparound farmer’s porch and is framed by tall wainscoting, a coffered ceiling and exquisite woodwork. The living room’s wet bar completes an elegant sequence of spaces made for conversation and celebration.

Private by design
The oversized primary suite occupies a private realm of its own, set apart from the remaining upstairs bedrooms by a grand atrium. On the first floor, a second primary suite offers the comfort and separation of a true guest retreat, creating the kind of welcome that makes visitors reluctant to leave. The pool house adds an even more secluded guest space, ideal when family and friends value a little extra independence.

An evening destination
The game and theater room is designed to carry an evening from its first break to the closing credits. A beautiful slate pool table anchors the game space, while a projector, twelve-foot motorized screen and 7.1 surround-sound system create a true cinematic experience at home. A dedicated wet bar keeps refreshments close and the gathering comfortably self-contained.

The grounds
Your own summer address.
The outdoor rooms surrounding the pool feel less like a residential backyard and more like a private resort reserved for family and friends.
A heated salt water in-ground pool anchors the setting, with a pergola offering shade and an elegant place to linger. Built of stone and finished with granite counters, the Coyote-appointed outdoor kitchen includes a hot-water sink, grill, outdoor refrigerator, ice-bin storage drawers, double pull-out trash bins and a commercial burner sized for the largest clambake or lobster pot. A separate bar building makes poolside service feel effortless.
The pool house adds built-in audio and a summer kitchen with cooktop, microwave, convection oven, plus Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer drawers. An attached, finished potting shed—with a commercial ice maker and commercial dishwashing sink—brings another layer of practical support to gatherings, gardening and life around the pool.

Stewardship
Cared for now. Ready for what comes next.
Some homes are simply owned. Others feel entrusted from one generation to the next.
A property of this character and scale outlasts any single chapter of ownership. During its current chapter, each improvement has been approached as an investment in the house itself: its comfort, resilience, beauty and ability to welcome the people who will care for it next.
Stewardship record
Just under a quarter of a million dollars.
The current stewards have renewed the property from its core mechanical systems outward, pairing essential infrastructure with considered improvements to its interiors, entertaining spaces, pool and grounds. Together, these projects represent an approximate investment of $248,400 in the house and the way it lives.

Boxford
Quiet by nature.
Heavily wooded, lightly developed and shaped by ponds, trails and open land, Boxford offers a distinctly rural New England setting within reach of the North Shore’s town centers and commuter routes.
Incorporated in 1685, the town retains its historic village character and open-town-meeting tradition. Route 133 makes daily connections straightforward, while nearby I-95 opens the way to Boston, Newburyport, Cape Ann and points north.
