About 53 Taunton Hill Rd

Welcome to 53 Taunton Hill Road! Steeped in history, this unique property was once part of the Boxwood Farm and housed a screening room where a Fox Studios director screened and edited movies. The heart of this beautifully converted barn is the great room with soaring vaulted ceilings, wide-board floors, and stunning stone fireplace. This light-filled room includes multiple seating areas and a spacious dining area. A wood-burning stove provides cozy warmth, and large French doors open up to the front courtyard with vibrant perennial gardens. A hidden door leads to a room that once housed a movie projector and now serves as a private office and laundry room. A den with a propane stove and a full bath offers additional living space. The kitchen features a center island, granite counters, and a pantry under the stairs that lead to a second floor room offering flexibility of use along with the walk-in attic. The main level primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet and en-suite bath. An open staircase in the great room leads to two additional bedrooms, both with vaulted ceilings. The detached barn serves as a two car garage with a spacious loft above. The house and barn have the potential to be connected should more living space or an attached garage be desired. The 4+ acre lightly wooded property is a nature-lovers dream with stone walls, gardens, and a seasonal vernal pond. Situated in a coveted location in the Taunton area!
