Exceptional historic estate in the heart of Sherborn Center, the iconic Calvin Sanger House (c.1819) is a gracious Federal-style Colonial, thoughtfully renovated for modern living while preserving the character and craftsmanship that make this home so distinctive. Set on just over two beautifully landscaped acres, this landmark residence offers a rare combination of history, elegance and modern luxury. Period details include soaring ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors, refined millwork and multiple fireplaces. Gracious formal living room with window seat with original pocket doors to dining room with French doors to bluestone patio. This all complemented by a stunning renovated chef’s kitchen with stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry and generous workspace. A flexible first-floor office or bedroom with bay windows and adjacent full bath is ideal for guests or working from home and could be utilized as a two-room in-law suite. The spacious family room features a fireplace, wet bar and French doors to an upper deck. A walk-out lower level with recreation space and full bath offers additional flexibility for guests, fitness or entertaining. Upstairs are four generous bedrooms and beautifully updated baths throughout. The renovated primary suite is a serene retreat with a luxurious bath and dressing area. Two additional bedrooms share an updated connecting bath, while the fourth bedroom has a dedicated full bath just across the hall. Upstairs laundry adds another modern convenience. Outside, mature landscaping, classic New England stonewalls to an in-ground pool create a private retreat in the heart of the village. An exceptional location, just steps from Sherborn’s newly expanded Library and soon-to-open History Center, with brand-new tennis and pickleball courts just down the street. Enjoy easy access to Sherborn’s renowned trail system, Farm Pond, consistently top-ranked Dover-Sherborn school system, restaurants, Town Hall, houses of worship and village amenities. A rare opportunity to own one of Sherborn’s most distinguished historic residences, where more than two centuries of New England character and beautifully renovated modern living come together.
