About this property

Elegant Historic Nine Bedroom Estate On 13 Acres Overlooking Long Island Sound

This historic, rambling home sits on 13 acres at the end of a private lane overlooking the Long Island Sound and the Connecticut River. The views are spectacular with the beach just a short walk from the front door. Cherished by families for generations, this 9 Bedroom/5 Bath home is stately and elegant while being welcoming and comfortable for all ages.

The newly renovated kitchen with island and granite counter tops features two stoves, two refrigerators, two sinks and two dishwashers for those who love to cook and entertain. Dine with your family and friends in the gathering room, formal dining room or outside on the front lawn.

A large living room with ample seating has views both south and west toward the Connecticut River. Practice your favorite songs on the upright Sohmer in the Piano room. There is even a toy room for the little ones with games and many books.

For those who love the outdoors, take a walk, run or bike ride along the private lane. Grab your favorite book and a glass of iced tea and relax on the lounge chairs under the trees. In the summer enjoy cocktails on the North Porch as the sun sets over the Connecticut River. Many wonderful family barbecues have been enjoyed on the front lawn facing the Long Island Sound. If you are lucky you might catch fireworks across the Sound or on the River from the Adirondack chairs.

The twin bedroom and full bath, located on the first floor, are handicapped accessible. The other eight bedrooms and four bathrooms are on the second floor accessible by a front and back staircase. Each room is carefully decorated in a classic New England style.

You will find everything you need to enjoy a summer week at this classic home. There is a laundry room, outdoor barbecue grill, and outdoor shower. You can have a lively game of American croquet and bocce on the front lawn.

The scenic town of Old Lyme and surrounding area offer art and historic museums, stunning nature walks, shopping and access to the Connecticut River and Long Island Sound for boating and Kayaking.

Come make some memories.
