214 Hill Road is a distinguished New England antique home that has been lovingly restored and extensively renovated to today's demanding standards, while maintaining the charm and grace of days gone by. The original home was built by Josiah Wetherbee in 1730 and the colonial extension was added in 1840 by the Whitcomb family. Set on 1.4 breathtaking acres, this home has been voted an historically significant building by the town of Boxborough.

Upon entry, one is immediately struck by the warm and welcoming mudroom that offers custom built in cabinetry for ample storage and a convenient laundry nook. Immediately ahead is a 2004 built bonus room that serves as a wonderful yoga/artist studio or as a fantastic playroom for the kids with an adjacent half bath. The dramatic view of the countryside beckons from the French doors and windows beyond. To the right of the entryway is a comfortable family room that was remodeled in the same year, yet has kept its character with some of its original features.

The renovated eat-in kitchen serves as the heart and soul of this home. It features tiger maple kitchen cabinets and granite counter tops as well as a vintage wood burning stove, an assorted array of hardwood and wide pine flooring befitting its farmhouse heritage. It is accompanied by a large pantry, a full bathroom and a hallway leading to the outdoor gardens.

The spacious dining room exudes a warm formality and features the original fireplace, bread oven, and warming cupboard as well as a beautiful built in china cabinet. The room radiates the unmistakable nostalgia of celebrations and holidays with family from generations past.

The formal living room is richly crafted with a high ceiling, a handsome fire place and original Greek revival details. The large, south facing windows allow for lots of light and views of the surrounding countryside.

The sun filled hallway features a gracious staircase that leads you to the second floor. This level offers a spacious master bedroom with walk-in closet and a cozy fire place, 3 more bedrooms, an office and another full bathroom.

Outbuildings include a two-car garage, barn and a shed open on one side to accommodate a boat or firewood storage, but is also great to use for outdoor entertaining.

For years the current owners have enjoyed this beautiful home and have set the standard for great stewardship. Ready to pass this Antique treasure to the next lucky owner - this is a home, not a house, and a setting to build beautiful memories.
