125 Sawyers Crossing Road

Built in 1767, this classic Historic Colonial is full of the kind of character you just can’t replicate. From the wide pine floors and 12-over-12 windows to the original wainscoting and beautiful period details, the home still reflects its 18th-century roots in all the right ways, including a wonderful New Hampshire 18th-century built-in corner cupboard in the formal dining room. The first floor has a welcoming center hallway and a comfortable, easy flow. The eat-in kitchen features quality Quaker-made cabinetry with thoughtful built-ins and plenty of charm. There’s a formal living room with a woodstove insert, a private office with built-in shelves, laundry room, and a half bath. The family room offers a wet bar and woodstove hookup, and opens to a screened porch that leads out to a slate patio, a great setup for relaxing or entertaining. Upstairs, the historic character continues. Four bedrooms feature wide pine floors, deep-set windows with original trim, and the kind of proportions and craftsmanship rarely found today. Period doors with traditional hardware, detailed moldings, and charming built-ins add warmth and authenticity throughout. Above the attached oversized garage is a finished private office or studio with two skylights, a large closet, and separate propane heat, ideal for working from home, guests, or creative space. The modified post-and-beam barn (22' x 36'), built in 2004, features radiant heat in the concrete floor, its own 60-amp panel, and a stairway leading to a finished second floor with wide pine floors. Whether you need workshop space, a studio, or additional storage, it offers great flexibility. Set on 1.4 acres, the property also includes a garden shed with electricity, paved driveway, brick walkway, and a spacious, private backyard. Located in Swanzey Center, close to schools and just minutes to Keene, this is a special property that combines historic charm with practical space for today’s living.
