8 Bayberry Ridge Rd, Old Lyme, CT 06371

Introducing this midcentury modern jewel, committed to its origins and meticulously maintained. Owned by the same family for almost 40 years, every bit of the property has been maintained. For example, aluminum clad Pella windows were installed in the first floor in 2019, with the second floor prior. Designed with future living in mind, the floor plan will be embraced by even the most discriminating buyers; the charm and uniqueness are stunning. Expansive kitchen, with incredible counter space, new appliances and great storage, hosts a French country stucco fireplace in the eat in area. The light filled sunroom is conveniently located off the kitchen, with access to a brick patio and a peaceful and quiet view of nature. Located across the hall is the main floor primary bedroom and private bath, including a bidet. A fireplace designed entirely of marble is the focal point of the living room and is both artistic and edgy, balancing the serenity of the space with large windows, which flows into the dining room. Floor to ceiling windows grace much of the first floor, hardwood floors throughout, and mudroom room/laundry room is conveniently located off the attached garage with a sink, and more storage. The second floor hosts two large bedrooms, full bath and a gathering space at the top of the stairs; great for an office, overflow media room and more. Located on the end of a cul-de-sac, and with Old Lyme Land Trust open space on two sides, this home is indeed serene. Lay-Allen Preserve and the McCullough Family Open Space are connected, and can be accessed easily by this property; together totaling over 500 acres. The grounds are pristine and beautifully designed with an irrigation system in the front yard. If it's a beach day you are after, residents of Old Lyme have access to the Town Beach at White Sands, complete with bath house, outdoor shower, parking, a gazebo, and of course, white sandy beach. Florence Griswold museum is located just down the road, on the Lieutenant River and the home of American Impressionism. Old Lyme is part of the school district, Regional District 18, along with the town of Lyme, and their motto is "Private School Experience in a Public School Setting" Lots to love here!
