About this property

Historic home in downtown Mystic-1 block from green, river, shops & restaurants

Step back in time to 1828 and walk the same halls as Charles Mallory, Mystic’s most prominent shipbuilder (see Mallory buildings and exhibits on display at Mystic Seaport). The Charles Mallory House is a 7 bedroom (sleeps 15), 4.5 bath (3750 sq ft) home located on .65 acre. This newly renovated home was the home of Charles Mallory and his decedents from 1828-2012. Located in historic downtown Mystic, the Charles Mallory Mystic House is ideal for extended/multi-generational family celebrations and reunions. Are you the parent(s) of the bride or groom who is getting married in the surrounding area? Or parent(s) of a Coast Guard student, Connecticut College student, or other academic institution? If so, this is the perfect house to accommodate your guests who are attending your once in a lifetime functions. Leave your car behind as this Greek Revival Home is a 1 block walk to Main Street Mystic, Mystic Green and River, numerous restaurants, bakeries, shops and the infamous Mystic River Bascule Bridge.

Beautiful flower gardens surround the house as well as a front and side porch, a 1,000 sq foot antique bluestone patio with grill, and picturesque 7 foot fountain. An expansive back yard is perfect for your family gatherings or a quiet time to read a book or swing on the tree swing. Two Stand Up Paddle boards (SUPs) that convert into kayaks and 2 kayaks are available for your use. Please note, per recommendation of our insurance company, there are four outdoor surveillance cameras. One camera covers the backyard and carriage house, a second camera covers the driveway and the third camera covers the the patio area. A ring camera is located on the front of the house. There are no cameras located inside our home.

The Charles Mallory House has two floors. The first floor showcases a gourmet kitchen that includes an 8 burner, 2 oven Wolf stove, pot filler, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, an over sized island and granite counter tops. Four fireplaces are located in the dining room, family room, living room and bedroom. The first floor bedroom (king bed) with an en suite bathroom is perfect for guest who do not want to climb stairs. A half bath completes the first floor living area.

A foyer with a grand curved staircase (great for pictures) takes guests to second floor or guests can enter the second floor via the servants stairway. Three more fireplaces can be found among the 6 second floor bedrooms (2 king bedrooms- 1 with attached bathroom, 2 queen bedrooms, 1 bedroom with 2 twin beds, 1 bedroom with bunk bed and trundle). A total of 3 full bathrooms complete the second floor living area.

This downtown location is only a 5 minute drive to Mystic Seaport, Mystic Aquarium, Esker Point Beach and Williams Beach, movie theaters, Old Mystic Village shopping, wineries, Fields of Fire Adventure Park and only 20 minutes to Rhode Island Beaches, Foxwoods, and Mohegan Sun Casinos. This property requires the signing of a contract that includes cancellation terms, payment details, and rental terms that could not be outlined within the constructs of the VRBO rental framework. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out for clarification. Thank you for looking at our house and we look forward to having you and your friends and/or family members as our guests.

Wonderful home for large groups

The Mallory House is perfectly situated-walking distance to downtown with lots of indoor/outdoor space to host large groups. The kitchen was well stocked to handle our family of 14 and there was plenty of room to sit and catch up. Skip and Lynn were incredibly responsive to any questions we had or providing recommendations. I would certainly bring the family back if the opportunity presents itself.

A wonderful historic home for our family reunion and visit to Mystic. The house is charming, comfortable and updated with lots of spaces for large groups.

Thank you so much for being a great place for our 30th college reunion! The kitchen was a perfect place to gather, and the outside patio and grounds were so inviting and a great place to relax, play games, and laugh around the fire pit.

Our 2nd visit to this lovely home

We (3 generations of family) came back for a repeat visit to this amazing house. Beautiful space indoors and out, with comfy areas for eating, hanging out and playing games. The location is terrific--walkable to the drawbridge and seaport museum. And communication with the hosts is great--they provided restaurant suggestions and were easy to reach with questions.

Wonderful Historic Home in Mystic

We (a group of 12 women who have been in the same bookclub for 20 years) had a wonderful 'anniversary' celebration in this beautiful historic home. The bedroom configurations worked out perfectly, with one master on the first floor. The location to downtown Mystic and the Mystic Seaport Museum allowed for easy walks on what ended up being two beautiful fall days. The kitchen was stocked with every cooking utensil we needed and the appliances were updated/modern. There were plenty of bathrooms and expansive, comfortable gathering spaces inside and out. A lovely, lovely yard as well. The owners were as gracious as could be and very easy to communicate with.

Delightful stay

We stayed at the historic Charles Mallory home while attending a wedding in Mystic as a family of 13. We loved the layout, expanse and beauty of the home including the large patio and backyard. In addition the location in town made it easy for everyone to go their different way each day without a lot of driving. Would highly recommend this beautiful home to my friends!

Our Intimate Wedding

We chose this spectacular property for our wedding that only included seven members of our family for it's charm and access to downtown Mystic. Lynn and Skip could not have been nicer or more helpful in their hospitality and recommendations. The kitchen was both beautiful and functional, the dining area fit us perfectly, and the expansive patio was an amazing spot for our ceremony and relaxing by the firepit on the following night surrounded by flowers and a bubbling fountain. We hope to return for an anniversary gathering in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Glenn Cox

Host profile image
We are excited to share our home with you. Lynn is a retired educational administrator and Skip is a retired executive of a software company. Traveling and spending time with family are their biggest joys in life. Parents to 2 daughters, 2 son-in -laws and grandparents to 5 grandchildren keep them very busy. Over an 8 year time span, they have lovingly restored the Charles Mallory Mystic house touching every inch of this home. After leaving the area for work and family, they wanted to relocate to the Mystic area. They currently reside in Haddam CT.

Why they chose this property

Lynn and Skip grew up in the Mystic area during their middle school and high school years. They were married and had their reception at Mystic Seaport (Seaman's Inn). After leaving the area for work and family, they knew that they wanted to spend their retirement years in the beautiful town of Mystic. When the Charles Mallory Mystic home came up for sale it was in need of great repair with cracked walls, falling down ceilings and painted floors to name a few of the repairs. Nonetheless, they saw the inner beauty of this home. Charles Mallory Mystic is too beautiful to keep to themselves, so they are sharing this special home with others so that you can make special memories that will last a lifetime.

What makes this property unique

Location! Location! Location! It is a rare opportunity to have a historic 7 bedroom, 4.5 bedroom on .65 acre in the heart of downtown Mystic. This home has it all. Sit on one of the two outside porches, swing on the tree swing, play catch in the backyard or cook in the beautiful chef kitchen. Want to take in the excitement of downtown Mystic? Walk less than .04 mile to enjoy a casual lunch or elegant dinner, or shop in the unique boutiques. At the end of the day, come back to the tranquility and quietness that Charles Mallory Mystic has to offer. Your stay at the Charles Mallory Mystic home is the perfect setting for your multi-generational family function and the backdrop for making lifetime memories.
