About this home

Gracious Living in Saconessett Hills -- Originally the residence of Joseph and Josephine Lilly, this Royal Barry Wills home has the elegance one expects in this private waterfront enclave. The private beach, secluded ambiance of Saconesset Hills and proximity to the bike path offer superb outdoor living. Mature trees and plantings on its estate-like grounds, along with a brick patio, shuffleboard court and swimming pool offer a nexus for entertaining or relaxing. Inside, the charming living space features a grand foyer with circular staircase, built-in bookcases and cabinets, coaching inn-styled family room, butternut-paneled library, beamed ceilings, five bedrooms, six fireplaces and hardwood floors. In addition to the light-filled main living spaces, there is a cozy two-bedroom wing over the four-car garage for an in-law or nanny suite and a generous finished lower level. A detached barn for boat/car storage is included. An adjacent 1 acre lot, # 252, is available for $695,000
