    What's special

    Nestled in the pastoral countryside of Old Lyme and close to the sandy beaches, 2 Rowland Road offers an extraordinarily rare opportunity to finish restoring a landmark 1824 Colonial estate spanning over 4,000 square feet. Blending timeless historic provenance with substantial modern additions, this sprawling home is primed for a buyer with a vision to create a masterpiece. The main residence retains authentic period charm, featuring 4 original fireplaces, gorgeous wide-plank wood flooring, and stately woodwork throughout. At the heart of the main level sits an expansive commercial-grade chef's kitchen-outfitted with custom cabinetry, a Traulsen commercial refrigerator with separate beverage fridge, 6-burner Wolf cooktop, Miele oven with warming drawer, and Bosch dishwasher. The impressive primary suite boasts a dedicated library/office space, an attached solarium and custom built-ins. Additionally, an expansive, unfinished sunroom with a wood stove presents a remarkable opportunity to add stunning square footage tailored to your lifestyle. The second level features 4 bedrooms, a flex space, full bath and plumbed full bath that can create a second bedroom suite. Outside, the grounds have a private country resort feel, featuring extensive granite stone patios, a covered outdoor entertaining pavilion with an integrated water feature, a gunite pool, detached two-car garage, and a charming potting garage with skylights that can also serve as an artist's studio. This extraordinary property offers an unparalleled canvas for a historic restoration or custom luxury estate. Being sold AS-IS.
