About This Home

As of September 2021

Built circa 1731 and lovingly maintained, this historic home exudes country charm while incorporating modern upgrades throughout. A perfect blend of old and new, Sacony House is a private oasis that is within easy reach of shopping, dining and commuter routes. Exposed wood beams and pine floors create a warm and inviting interior. The foyer opens to living and dining rooms separated by a wood-burning fireplace. A cozy kitchen with vaulted ceiling features a gas range, island with seating area, and tile backsplash, set off by the floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. Nearby, the breakfast room includes a trap door leading to a root cellar perfect for cold storage. The primary suite is found on this floor as well, replete with built-ins, large windows, and a well-appointed primary bath with tile floor and claw foot tub. Two bedrooms, a hall bath and reading nook are found on the second floor. The walkout lower level is an unexpected delight with a finished family room and a screened porch leading to the large backyard with in-ground swimming pool. 6+ acres of mature greenery is complemented by a variety of outbuildings and two footbridges, with the picturesque Sacony Creek traversing the grounds. A guest cottage is perfect for friends and family with a kitchenette and full bath. Sacony House is a perfect blend of heritage craftsmanship and contemporary conveniences.
