14 Birch Mill Rd, Lyme, CT 06371

This exceptional property has been lovingly reimagined by the current owners and Jonathan Islieb for comfortable, modern living in a tranquil country setting. The original 1850s home has been transformed into large, open spaces with high ceilings amid classic features. The spacious living room, open to both the dining room and kitchen, is warmed by wide board floors and a large, free standing fireplace framed in post and beam timbers. The guest loft overlooks the room. A second fireplace and palladium window enhance the lovely dining room which opens to a sheltered deck. Skylights set in a cathedral ceiling and a glowing wooden island are the focus of a classic kitchen, which includes a dining area framed in windows & built-ins. The private master bedroom enjoys its own entryway, an exquisite bathroom featuring glass shower, soaking tub, custom vanity with built-ins and a walk through custom closet. A new screened porch overlooks a natural stone patio and the entrance to a secret garden of white blooms. From the patio, follow the whimsical railings to a newly constructed 2 car garage with separate garden studio and second floor storage. Set on over five acres, the Falls Brook meanders through the rolling lawn, creating a pond and providing continuous reflections of nature.
