Welcome to this Centerbrook architects Old Lyme Gem. Ideally situated near picturesque beaches, the Connecticut River and the Lyme Hills. Nestled between a pond and Neck Road, this masterpiece seamlessly blends classical details with modern comforts, offering a unique blend of old-world charm and contemporary convenience. As you approach, be greeted by the Greek Revival facade framed by mature trees and manicured landscaping. On the first floor, the living and dining areas, the family room, the kitchen and the luxurious master bedroom suite all face the pond. The character of the house changes from front to back: windows facing the street are few and very large. Stylized Greek Revival trim and detailing throughout. In the back of the house many windows face the pond in an open, friendly, bring the outdoors in manner. Within, a screen of columns help to articulate the living room, and columns and a shallow dome define the dining room. The placement of columns, however permits the dining table to be considerably enlarged accommodating many guests without sacrificing the character of the room. The kitchen and family room are, appropriately, more informal and less classical. On the second floor, all bedrooms face the pond. Enjoy the pool and terrace overlooking the pond and spacious backyard. The pool has its own accessible bathroom. Additional Barn and out building. The property is combined of two lots. Close to farmer's markets, museums, tennis, golf, sailing and marinas.
