This iconic Old Lyme home, set gracefully and privately back on 6 acres of parklike land, harks back to a slower, more gracious time of picnics on the lawn by the river. The property sits at the north end of the village with frontage on Lyme Street and the Lieutenant River near the Florence Griswold Museum and the Bee and Thistle Inn. The water frontage allows small-boat access to the Connecticut River and Long Island Sound. The 10-room 4600 square foot house, with its classic 1920's style, is accessed by a tree-lined gravel drive bracketed by lawns that sweep down to the water. The house has an open feel with spacious rooms including an updated Kitchen and lovely glassed-in Porch with views to the water. Two bedrooms with private baths and 2 additional bedrooms that share a bath, and two separate offices/bonus rooms complete the upper floor. An attached two-car garage leads into a screened porch into the Kitchen area. Hardwood floors throughout the house complete this solid and comfortable home. This is village living at its best, within walking distance to shops, museums, art galleries, schools and restaurants. Located midway between New York and Boston in one of New England's prettiest shoreline towns.
