About This Home

As of May 2025

Enjoy ever-changing views and stunning birdlife at this Old Lyme Village craftsman cape overlooking Appleby Pond. Stroll to all the village charms; the library, middle/high school campus, pre-schools, town hall, galleries and shops are all a short walk away. Enter a vaulted great room with barn beams and a handsome stone fireplace. French doors open to a grand deck with pond views. The adjacent kitchen is well equipped with gas and stainless appliances. There is a dining room and living room with a second fireplace, all with custom millwork. Completing the main body of the house are three second-floor bedrooms including a primary bedroom. These rooms share an updated marble bath. A second primary bedroom with ensuite bath and efficiency kitchen is privately set with access off both the great room and the garage. This can easily double as guest quarters. There is a walk-out, daylight basement with a third fireplace - great potential den/hobby/fitness area. The other half of the basement houses the mechanicals and offers great storage. Brick hardscape and professional landscape frame the home and a tidy yard slopes gently down to the pond. Wood floors are found throughout. Find incredible updates including a top-of-the-line Crown Boiler, nearly all new windows, new front door, French doors and a deck. The septic was updated in 2017. This is a special property in an exceptional location offering a flexible floor plan. Special!
