* 3D/VR Tour 24/7 (link varies per venue) * A Vintage 4 BR 2 Full Bath center chimney Cape style home in historic Mystic above the nearby flood zone and yet it's just 1/4 mi. walk to the best that Mystic has to offer! This location is also just 1.3 mi. off I-95 so it also gives quick summertime access to the highway when downtown Mystic can become congested. The driveway is on a low traffic cul-de-sac and it has a level back yard with abundant perennials. The 0.55 acre lot size is above average in size for the area. Detached 1-car Garage is just steps away from the home + there's plenty of parking in the paver driveway. Stainless Kitchen and fresh paint in most areas of the home that has wide plank hardwood and tile throughout the home. There's a wood stove that is perfectly situated in the center of the home and a new oil fired boiler that was just installed. 1st-floor Bedroom has direct full-bath access. A 2nd Bedroom on the first floor can double as a study or Office space. Stone foundation and full basement is remarkably dry and has a concrete slab instead of a dirt floor. VA & FHA Buyers are welcome if you use a renovation mortgage for those mortgage types as there is a little peeling paint and the wood siding will be ready for repainting in the spring. The only historic limitations are any additions to the home or paint colors must be approved. The Seller believes you are not limited on the choice of window replacements or siding materials if you wanted to make changes.
