Boxwood Cottage, Smyrna's oldest house, stands as a testament to meticulous renovation and historic charm. Renovated by CopperSky Renovations in 2015, this home combines modern luxury with timeless elegance. Each detail of the house has been crafted with care, from the custom-designed metal doorknobs, hinges, and cabinet hardware to the carefully chosen trim around each window and door. The detail in the design features run throughout the property. The custom iron railings on the front, side, and rear porches have individually cast jonquil bulbs for each individual step. Smyrna is historically known as Jonquil City. Personalized iron gates flank the brick-laid rear patio, adding to the home’s distinct character. Beautiful stained glass graces the front entrance and side entrance, while the powder room offers a delightful view for guests. Inside, the house boasts 12-foot ceilings, coffered ceilings, 3 fireplaces, open rooms, wide hallways, solid cherry doors, heart-pine and wide plank red oak flooring and lighted display cabinets. Beautiful windows and plantation shutters run throughout the light-filled living spaces, each offering views of the beautiful acre+ landscaped property.

The primary bathroom has a spa tub, a guest en suite has the original clawfoot tub and all three bathrooms have oversized glassed showers. The separate office for two is complete with built-ins, open shelving, and granite countertops. The property extends beyond the fence and sits on a professionally landscaped acre-plus lot. A long winding brick driveway with circular drive at the top of a gentle hill leads to an oversized one-car garage and ample parking for guests.
