About this home

Surrounded by meadows and gardens, THE PELETIAH FOSTER HOUSE is a fine example of 18th Century New England architecture. Situated on a bucolic corner lot in Lyme, this home presents a rare opportunity for purists and stewards of antique homes. Discriminating attention to detail and full restoration less than 20 years ago by the current owners, insures all amenities of 21st Century living with the charm and character intact. From millwork, historically accurate paints, window selections and light fixtures, this pristinely maintained home is a true treasure. Professionally planted gardens abound, with brick patio, gazebo, in-ground pool and pastoral grounds insuring your country serenity. LL represents approx. 1500 sq ft of living featuring an exercise room with FB/Sauna, recreational/billards room and 4th bdrm. Great for company or potential in-law. The 3 car garage/barn offers walk-up loft storage - great space for hobbyists or antique collectors. Enjoy summer daily walks past Ashlawn Farm and enjoy the Saturday Farmer's Market! Central to Routes 1 and 9, Art Museum and downtown shopping. Pleasurable pastime made easy with biking and hiking to local lake and beaches! A truly inviting home for daily or weekend living. Detailed attachments (including 2005 feature article in Country Living Magazine) are online adding justice to this home's offering.
