Description
Known as the Benjamin Chandler House, this late federal colonial is one of Saco's most historic homes. Originally built in 1820 for a local gentleman in the blacksmithing business, this prominent residence has beautifully endured for the past 200 years. Encompassed within the property's .88 acres of land are park-like grounds, towering trees, mature gardens, brick walkways and terrace, and expansive lawns.

Originally built in 1820 for a local gentleman in the blacksmithing business, this prominent residence has beautifully endured for the past 200 years. Encompassed within the property's .88 acres of land are park-like grounds, towering trees, mature gardens, brick walkways and terrace, and expansive lawns. The two and half story home dates to 1820, and its front façade underwent a recent and complete historical renovation by Hoagland Restoration. Within its 3,506 square feet of living space there are 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and 5 fireplaces. The first level features a charming living room with fireplace and an adjoining sunroom, formal dining room with fireplace, renovated kitchen/breakfast area, half bath, laundry facilities, large family room and a bedroom suite with fireplace and full bath. 4 additional bedrooms (2 with fireplaces), and 2 full baths are located on the second level which is accessed by front and rear staircases. There are two attached garages providing for 3 to 4 cars with ample storage and workshop area. Other property features include a newly renovated cedar screen porch overlooking the grounds and a greenhouse. The Benjamin Chandler House is located on a tree lined street with sidewalk access to the city's amenities and walking distance from schools. Once a leader of manufacturing in the industrial age, Saco and its sister city of Biddeford with their revitalized and repurposed mill district now offer a picturesque downtown. With restaurants, breweries and specialty food venues filling the brick factory buildings, these twin cities are an up-and-coming culinary destination. Recreational activities such as sandy beaches, golf, fishing, hiking, and biking are all nearby. Portland with its own revitalized waterfront, world class restaurants, sporting and theatrical events, hospitals and airport is 17 miles to the north.
