Thoughtfully updated with a brand new roof and updated plumbing and septic, it offers modern peace of mind while preserving its timeless character.

Ideally situated just moments from boutique shopping, galleries, dining, Old Saybrook Town Beach, and the Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center, this exceptional home offers both lifestyle and convenience.
