About this home

Rustic Cape on 2.17 acres in private setting. Above the garage is a finished room with electricity. While the town has it listed as a 3 Bedroom, there is a 4th bedroom on the 1st floor currently used as a study. A main feature of the home is the wonderful great room with cathedral ceiling and exposed beams. The large country kitchen with wood burning stove accommodates a dining area and breakfast bar at center island. It is a natural gathering spot for casual meals and entertaining. From the kitchen there is a pass through “window” to the formal dining room which allows an open flow between the two rooms. Wide board floors run throughout most of the first floor. The living room is currently used as a home office, and the 1st floor bedroom is set up as an entertainment room. Adjacent to the latter is a 1st floor full bath creating the option for one floor living. The master bedroom has a vaulted ceiling and wooden beams to carry through with the rustic theme. A creative design with the master bath allows for joint use of the tub and shower with the hallway bath. Two additional bedrooms complete the 2nd floor. Enjoy the peacefulness and privacy of the outdoors from the porch, patio or deck. This property also has a large side and front yard while the deck overlooks a lightly wooded area. Conveniently located half way between New York and Boston your new home awaits you in the shoreline town of Old Lyme close to beaches, marinas and all the charm of a New England community.
