Steeped in history yet beautifully updated for modern living, this charming 19th-century home was once part of Sheep Meadow Farm and remains bordered to the south and west by impressive fieldstone walls. Just moments from Old Lyme's historic village, this property offers the ideal blend of character, craftsmanship, and convenience-perfect for evening walks to Old Lyme Dock, Ferry Landing State Park, and stunning Connecticut River sunsets. Inside, find an inviting main-level living room, kitchen, dining/great room, and powder room. Upstairs are two comfortable bedrooms and a full bath, with additional space in the full basement for storage or future expansion. A sunny deck overlooks the serene, landscaped grounds. A highlight of the property is the 24' x 32' embankment barn (built 2013)-an exceptional heated artist studio or workshop featuring 12-foot ceilings, a Jtul Elk woodstove, commercial-grade wiring, separate electrical meter, and both 110V and 220V outlets embedded in the floor slab. Recent updates underscore the home's quality: a new roof, heating system with A/C coils, double-wall oil tank (2014), well pump and tank (2020), and heat pump water heater (2022). In 2025, the home received top-tier Andersen windows (17 total), fresh interior and exterior paint, and refinished floors. The septic system was installed in 2002. Architectural plans (2023) for a main-level primary suite addition-available along with an A-2 survey.
