A serene escape nestled on the outskirts of the village, this elegant Old Lyme colonial is an artful blend of historic integrity and contemporary living. Sheltered by a perfect road with little traffic, the four-bedroom, 2750-square-foot residence is on 1.20 acres of beautifully landscaped green and gardens, surrounded by nature and the quiet of the Old Lyme Golf Club. With French doors and a large, historic fireplace commanding center stage, the living room provides generous space for entertaining. The cozy library/family room is a quiet haven for reading or watching your favorite movies. Both chefs and hosts alike will delight in the large open, eat-in dining kitchen, which boasts hand-painted floors, another fireplace, and picturesque views opening out to the terrace, lush gardens, and glamorous pool. Beautiful wooden floors throughout the home add to the timeless appeal and lead you to the stylishly appointed rooms upstairs, including the master suite on the second floor, and three additional bedrooms (the "Zonk Boat Room" with a canopied bed, the Toile Room, and Blue Room). Just 115 miles from New York City or Boston, this house offers a relaxing retreat for country weekends or comfortable year-round living. Close to Old Lyme's village, shopping, art galleries, and museums, this home is a lifestyle choice for those who appreciate privacy, nature, and the classic allure of living chicly with history.
