About This Home

As of August 2016

If location, location, location are the three most important aspects of a property, this house won't last long. This Sachem Head contemporary, beautifully sited with views of Sachem's Head Harbor and marsh, has been lovingly expanded, landscaped and maintained over the 21 years the present owners have enjoyed owning this property. At 3068 sq ft, 3.5 bathrooms, five bedrooms (first floor master bedroom), second floor family room, large stone patio with fireplace/grill, and home office, this home offers flexibility and livability. The oversized garage with 2nd floor loft offers great boat and car storage, and workshop or project space, and a potential additional living space (in law apartment) in the loft. The 1.1 acre lot is very private yet minutes from Guilford Green. City water is available in the street. The detached traditional Finnish sauna promotes physical health and peace of mind. The property falls within the Sachem's Head Association community. As such the owners have access to floating docks and mooring fields within the harbor and Joshua Cove, a boat launch ramp, Bloody Cove beach area with its tennis and paddle ball courts, and the occasional use of the Sachem's Head Yacht Club for community pot-lucks. Boaters, canoeists, kayakers, nature lovers, beach goers, swimmers, fisher men and women, racket sport enthusiasts, and those looking for quiet privacy and inspiring vistas to promote healthful meditation, will want to check out this rare opportunity asap.
