Featured Home on The Magnolia Network, "In with the Old". This priceless 3 Bedroom, 3 Full Bath home is nestled on .38 Acres in the Heart of Old Mystic Village. Step into a seamless blend of historical charm and modern convenience with the Dr. Dudley Woodbridge Tavern, a home steeped in American history and updated for contemporary comfort. Built circa 1745, this Gambrel roof Colonial has been a cornerstone Old Mystic, serving as a Tavern/Stagecoach stop, a family residence, and the medical office of Dr. Dudley Woodbridge, a Harvard-educated physician. Its walls whisper tales of the Underground Railroad and even a visit from Benjamin Franklin in 1753. Since 2021, a solar system was installed, the electrical panel updated, and a wood-burning insert added, enhancing efficiency and warmth. The windows have been reglazed, ext. wood meticulously repaired, preserving the integrity of the structure. In 2023 the Interior and exterior paint refreshed, and a kitchen remodel featuring custom counters by the Mystic Seaport Museum, incorporating roundels from the USS Nautilus, adding a touch of nautical heritage. Constructed with traditional post and beam architecture and framed in American Chestnut, the home's original features have been maintained, including the musket cabinet, "witching marks," and "hexfoils," which are symbols believed to offer protection. This home is not just a place to live; it's a chapter of American History!
