Colonial Revivals and ranches near ponds
In Sawdy Pond/Woods Corner, homebuyers can find properties on forested roads, newly developed communities on curving residential streets with cul-de-sacs and waterfront properties along Sawdy and Devol ponds. There are some ranches and raised ranches built in the 1970s on grass lots, which cost between $430,000 and $600,000. Large single-family homes built within the last five years usually feature Colonial Revival designs with neutral, cool-toned facades and shuttered windows. Prices for these properties start at $700,000 and rise to $850,000. Part of the appeal of this neighborhood is access to land, so homebuyers can expect to see properties on at least half-acre lots.
