30 Josie Perkins Ln Old Lyme, CT 06371

Perched on a hill at the top of a long and winding private lane sits a beautiful and sophisticated country home. A lovely stone-walled courtyard with boxwood surround, wood roof and just the right amount of architectural detail on the interior lend to its understated elegance. From the double height reception foyer, the main floor features nine foot ceilings, wide-board wood flooring, carefully crafted mill work and an intimate first floor master suite complete with study, walk-in closet and luxurious bath. Also on the main level is a Great Room anchored by a bold fireplace, a powder room and, the heart of the home, an open kitchen with a casual dining area and adjoining family room with floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. A mudroom off the kitchen houses the laundry room and a back staircase leads to an office with potential as a fourth bedroom or media room. Up the main staircase in the foyer is a open sitting room, an ensuite bedroom and an additional separate bedroom and full bath. Bordered by almost 400 acres of preserve, this eight acre serene and park-like estate setting is replete with stately oaks, native fern and laurel, and natural stone outcroppings. Walk or drive a mile to the Hadlyme Country Market for all your necessities or to lovely Selden's Creek for water enjoyment.
