BEST VALUE IN LYME. Originally built as the Gould Tavern in 1745 and sited on 3.25 park-like acres across from the Eight Mile River, this classic Antique Colonial has been meticulously restored blending the charm and character of the past with today's modern conveniences. Highlighted by an open floor-plan with exposed chestnut beams, wide board flooring, period millwork and six working fireplaces, this one of a kind showplace is sure to impress. A kitchen/family room addition includes a large chestnut center island, professional grade appliances, raised paneling, brick heated floors and multiple banks of windows. The open first floor with formal living and dining rooms, cozy den, renovated kitchen and three working stone fireplaces is loaded with period details. The lower level is highlighted by the original Tavern Tap Room complete with massive stone fireplace, stone floors, and stone walls. The upper level of the home, accessed by two separate staircases includes four bedrooms, two additional wood-burning fireplaces and two renovated bathrooms. Improvements by the current owner include: a kitchen/family room addition and renovation, updated bathrooms, new cedar shingle roof, new furnace, new hot water heater, restoration of 6 fireplaces, re-pointing of interior and exterior stone work, re-surfacing of gunite pool, new pool heater, and renovations, currently in process, to the pool house. Restored and updated to perfection. Tremendous opportunity!! Incredible value!!
