32 Sandown Road

Step into a truly special property where history, beauty, and modern comfort come together on 5.3 picturesque acres in Danville’s historic district. The grounds are thoughtfully designed and meticulously maintained, featuring vibrant perennial gardens, a tranquil waterfall, winding walking paths, fruit trees, berry bushes, an expansive raised vegetable garden, a small orchard, and multiple gazebos that create a peaceful, private setting. A striking koi pond with a charming bridge anchors the landscape, while a screened gazebo within the fenced backyard offers a quiet place to relax and unwind.

At the center of it all is the Ephraim Barber House, a remarkable post-and-beam antique originally built in 1735 in Marlborough, MA. Carefully dismantled and reconstructed on a new foundation in Danville in 1985, the home preserves its historic character with wooden pegs, purlins, gunstocks, wind braces, exposed brick, wide pine floors, a beehive oven, deacon’s closet, butterfly staircase, hand-painted murals, and three fireplaces that reflect classic New England craftsmanship.

A brand new 1,250-gallon cement septic system with a 4-bedroom-rated tank and new distribution box, along with a brand new roof, provide peace of mind, while the home also offers an updated kitchen and baths, stainless steel appliances, central air, 200 AMP service, generator hookup, water softener, radon mitigation system, updated plumbing and electrical, and fresh interior and exterior paint throughout the home and outbuildings. Additional highlights include a detached two-car garage with a large heated workshop above, an attached shed and custom chicken coop, and a newer three-stall carriage barn with electricity. The rear two acres may offer subdivision potential while still preserving the privacy and beauty of the main residence. This is a rare opportunity to own a distinctive and timeless property.
