Quintessential Lyme character; a dream come true, for the discriminating buyer. Curated and loved by the current owners for over a quarter century, this 1860 Victorian has been well cared for, from replacing trim work to creating rooms for contemporary living. Large sunny eat-in kitchen has been renovated by Hanford Cabinets. Living room and dining room with cozy built-ins occupy the front of the home, along with a full bath. Access the house via the practical and oversized mudroom with cozy office tucked off to the side. 2003 addition by Peter Gulick of Madison includes family room with black walnut floors and full bath, as well as a glassed-in wood-panelled room with a propane stove that is used all four seasons. The 2nd floor hosts 2 bedrooms, and a full bath; the primary bedroom has been updated with beams and thoughtfully crafted storage. In 2017, well known local craftsman Erik Block constructed the studio/guest house, a beautiful light filled home with its own bedroom, full bath, kitchenette, office and large living room/dining room with propane stove. The back yard is fully fenced in with specimen trees and professionally landscaped gardens can be viewed on one of the many decks or patio. This is truly a home meant to enjoy the outside. Enjoy everything Lyme has to offer, privacy, hiking, paddling on the waterways, farmer's markets, local yoga; just a short distance to the CT River, LI Sound, NYC & Boston.
