NEW PRICE, NEW OPPORTUNITY PROPERTY! Own a distinctive piece of Saugus history with this authentic 1742 post-and-beam antique, originally built for Parson Roby. Offering 2,606 sq ft of living space, this 4-bedroom home is filled with classic New England character, including exposed hand-hewn beams, wide-plank hardwood floors, period fireplaces, and architectural details rarely found in today’s homes.
