About This Home

As of September 2015

The Sala Post home was constructed in the beginning of the shipbuilding era in close proximity to the former "New City Landing", where ocean going vessels were built. The antiquity of this stunning cape has been embraced and artistically updated to provide comfortable living and entertaining spaces. Flexibility of the layout provides master bedroom opportunities on both the main level and upper level. The upper level master has a separate staircase leading to the family room and kitchen area. Fireplaces grace both the historic living room and the recently constructed great room with cathedral ceilings and custom limestone fireplace. A private & landscaped village yard provides a magical setting for patio and pergola with wisteria. A dining pergola, replicated from Martha Stewart's own, is encircled by climbing hydrangea. All this, within walking distance to village shops, eateries, yacht clubs and the Connecticut River in one of the best small towns in America.
