Waterfront living on coveted Baldpate Pond! Offered for the first time, this one-owner custom shingle-style contemporary is beautifully nestled into its natural setting on 4.54 acres in Boxford’s Great Pond subdivision, with over 400 feet of direct water frontage and sweeping 180-degree pond views from nearly every room. Set back from the road for privacy and thoughtfully designed to complement the natural landscape, the home features cedar shakes, oversized windows, hardwood flooring on the first floor, skylights, two fireplaces, a private office, air conditioning, and an impressive studio above the three-car garage—ideal for artists, hobbyists, wellness space, or a quiet office away from the main living areas. A separately deeded 2.22-acre parcel is included within the total acreage, offering outstanding flexibility for an ADU, family compound, separate garage or carriage house, or potential future development. The kitchen offers a gas fireplace and center island which opens to a screened porch, expansive deck, with unforgettable water views—perfect for morning coffee, sunset dinners, or simply watching the pond change with the seasons. A bluestone patio extends from the formal dining room, while the step-down family room centers around a dramatic floor-to-ceiling granite wood-burning fireplace. A first-floor bedroom suite with full bath provides flexibility for guests, extended family, or single-level living. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite is a peaceful retreat with a tray ceiling, ensuite bath, a dedicated closet alcove with two full-size closets plus a walk-in closet with a laundry chute to the first-floor laundry room, and a romantic sleeping porch overlooking the pond—an enchanting spot for coffee at sunrise, a glass of wine at sunset, or falling asleep to the quiet sounds of the water. Enjoy four-season recreation with fishing, kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding, and winter skating right from your own waterfront. The permitted private dock area offers rare deep water of approximately 6 feet. Complete with a three-car garage, covered boat storage racks, convenient access to major highways, and placement within the highly regarded Masconomet School District, this is a rare opportunity to own one of Boxford’s most special waterfront retreats!
ADU Potential
Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025). Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 900 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 4,070 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 197,762 sq ft.
Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.
Estimates — not financial advice
These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
