If you happen along the Boston Post Rd. you will find this jewel box of a Cape, an authentic Sears Roebuck ca. 1930. This adorable 2 bedroom 1.5 bath cottage is located 3 doors down from Rogers Lake, with beach & boating! You are in Laysville, a most charming and convenient neighborhood to get around easily. Socialize over a cup of coffee or gourmet lunch at Coffee's Country Market! Not only that, you are right across from arguably the best Pizza/Italiana restaurant in Old Lyme (Arthur Ave bread, anyone?) The 2 car garage has the most amazing work area for those who really wish to work! A steel I-beam with hook can lift engines, machinery etc. and a 12 ft garage door at the back makes it easy to bring in large equipment, trucks, tractors etc. A Vogelzang wood stove keeps you warm while working and a metal fire door slides barn-style to keep this area separate and safe from the 2 car garage. A back deck for outdoor grilling and relaxing extends off the back of the house. Have your morning coffee or evening cocktail here while overlooking your gardens and .5 corner lot. Paradise! Coming inside from the back deck brings you into a mudroom area and good sized kitchen which leads easily into the comfy living room with a wood fireplace. An elegant yet usable dining room and half bath off the kitchen all makes for a wonderful flow! Upstairs are two bedrooms and full bath. Granite stone front steps, white shutters and a light post welcomes you home. Suitable home contingency.
New stainless steel fireplace liner! Oil tank less than 2 years old! Curtain drain, radon mitigation system installed. Recently re-stained 30 x 30 ft. deck
