4 Meetinghouse Lane, Old Lyme, CT 06371

Situated on 2.54 acres of lush, wooded land in a private setting, this special home is brimming with distinctive details and finishes. With a unique blend of natural materials and sophisticated architectural design, the residence is built with environmentally conscious materials including energy-efficient steel beam and concrete construction. Originally designed by an architect as a family home, and now owned by environmental designers, the house has been thoughtfully enhanced throughout with a careful eye for understated elegance. Natural light spills into every corner of the indoor spaces, with dozens of windows and doors inviting in the shifting colors of each season. On the first floor, the ground-level primary suite includes a library, ensuite bathroom, an ample walk-in closet, and also has a private balcony with woodland views. The well-appointed chef's kitchen features stainless steel counters, upscale appliances, and a spacious walk-in pantry. The dramatic living room boasts a natural fireplace with a soaring two-story over-mantel, open ceilings to the second floor, and a cozy dining or game area nestled beside the cable-railed staircase. There is also a powder room and laundry on the first floor. The second floor can be reached from the living room staircase or via a separate entrance from the circular driveway. A bright and airy room suitable as a studio or family room overlooks the living room below. There are also two large bedrooms which share a minimalist tile and stone bathroom. The oversized two-car garage includes a dedicated gardening workspace and plenty of storage. A staircase leads to a spacious loft above the garage, already wired and ready to be finished as a guest apartment or additional studio/office space.
