About Property

Beautiful features abound in this c.1700 center-chimney antique that has been expanded and modified throughout its history. The home contains lovely, custom wood paneling throughout the house with wide board floors on the first floor. There are 3 open fireplaces. In the 1970's, the home's owner, an architect, designed an addition to open up the main level blending it with the original footprint while expanding the gorgeous views. Beamed vaulted ceilings and paneling enhance the space. The main level has a large formal dining room, a kitchen that opens to the den creating today's gathering area while two front rooms reflect the living styles of a former period. There are 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths upstairs accessed by two stairways. Outdoors, a stone wall frames the home's frontage with protected nature conservancy land across the road. There is a tiered garden area perfect for flowers and vegetables. A deck and adjacent stone patio with an arbor provide a pleasant, private retreat for grilling and al fresco dining. The property is almost 5 acres with Joshua Creek flowing through it. Woodlands in the rear are a natural habitat to native species of foliage and birds where a heron rookery hosted 12 nesting pairs in 2023! Some capital improvements since 2000 include a new garage, septic and generator. The home is about 2 hours from NYC or Boston by car. Lyme is convenient to Amtrak, airports, entertainment, dining, recreation, theater and shopping.
