About This Home
As of December 2015"Tidelands", a distinctive waterfront estate near the historic village of Old Lyme, an area rich for its coastal setting and wildlife, sits on the shores of the navigable Back River leading to Long Island Sound. Beautiful archways, an architectural hallmark of this residence, move one through formal living and dining spaces, all with stunning millwork and magnificent views, and French doors leading to a beautifully columned terrace, lovely formal gardens and sweeping lawns. Beyond the pool complex, a boardwalk meanders through lush grasses leading to a wonderful dock, currently in the permitting process. A magnificent blend of classic architectural design and modern amenities, this perfectly scaled 5000 square foot, four bedroom home, also incorporates a Great Room with gourmet kitchen, a masterfully designed library with plush window seats, a master suite with wraparound windows bringing in natural light, which includes a dressing room and elegant marble bath, and three additional bedrooms with en suite baths. Sited on nine waterfront acres, this residence was designed by architect Robert Orr and custom built by housewright Skip Broom, and also includes a beautiful guest cottage, separate three bay post and beam barn, and pool complex. Dock fully permitted but boardwalk permits pending with DEEP. Simply stunning!
