Tucked away on a private 0.835-acre hillside between Mystic and Noank, this historic 1910 residence, originally built for Ella Brigham in the Shingle Style, offers a rare blend of timeless character, modern updates, and a spectacular natural setting. Nearly surrounded by protected land, the property features trails leading from the grounds to multiple ponds, creating a peaceful retreat while remaining close to area amenities, restaurants, and the shoreline. This 2,796 square foot home includes four bedrooms, two full baths, and one half bath. The traditional front porch with fieldstone pillars welcomes you and overlooks beautifully landscaped grounds filled with mature plantings, including a magnificent decades-old rhododendron currently in bloom. Inside, historic charm meets modern convenience with an updated chef's kitchen featuring a gas range, granite countertops, and beautiful sandstone gray cabinetry. Additional highlights include attached two-car garage with a bonus room above, its own entrance, and a private deck - perfect for a studio, office, or guest space. A walk-up attic and full basement provide excellent storage. Recent improvements include a new roof installed in June 2026. Elevated on its hillside setting, this special property offers privacy, nature, and classic New England appeal just minutes from Mystic and Noank.

West Mystic, located between the Mystic River and the Stonington town line, is a waterfront and residential Mystic neighborhood with salt-air marsh edges and a low-slung village streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the River Road and Noank Road corridor, where marinas, boatyards, and small shoreline businesses set a working-harbor tone. Clapboard capes and colonials sit beside pockets of newer builds, many oriented toward river views and tidal inlets. The pace follows the water, with docks, moorings, and shoreline walks shaping daily routines. S&P Oyster Company, Mystic Seaport Museum, and Mystic Aquarium serve as cultural anchors closely tied to the area’s identity. A short drive east, downtown Mystic’s drawbridges and brick storefronts extend the dining-and-strolling circuit.
