1130 River Rd, Groton, CT 06355

Welcome to Mystic's hidden waterfront! This historic residence is tucked away on a private cove on the most scenic road in Mystic. Enjoy incredible views of the Mystic River and unspoiled marshlands and abounding wildlife. From your tranquil perch on over an acre of land, it will be hard to imagine that downtown Mystic is only a short ride away with its vibrant restaurants, boating and cultural scene. With your own private dock, floating down the river to lunch will be a tempting option! The main residence features five bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms with generously proportioned rooms that are laid out in a manner that takes maximum advantage of the views. A sweeping covered porch wraps around the main level and provides the perfect shady spot to enjoy a lazy summer day. An equally expansive deck on the second level will indulge sunbathers with a fresh ocean breeze and a sea captain's view. Built in 1891, the home has been meticulously maintained with many major upgrades along the way. A former barn has been converted into a two-car garage with a delightful one-bedroom guest suite above, ideal for a romantic getaway or a discreet Airbnb. If that's not enough, to add to the magic there's a magnificent boathouse right on the river that will inspire both the hobbyist and the entertainer with a rich nautical palette.
