7 Duchess Dr Old Lyme, CT 06371

Hoops Anyone? This attractive and extraordinarily roomy colonial on a cul-de-sac in the popular Lords Meadow community of Old Lyme boasts a regulation half court basketball set up with two nets and is completed by enormously tall ceilings, gym floor and caged drop lights. Outwardly looking like a red country barn, the versatility of the space has time and again surprised the current owner and has been host to many partys. On a more traditional front, this classic center hall home features an up-to-date kitchen with granite counters and stainless steel appliances and a front to back living room flowing into a capacious dining room with bay window. A surprise room tucked off a first floor hallway is adjacent to a full bath and can function as a bedroom or hideaway den. The entertaining theme that starts with the basketball barn is echoed first in the completed lower level featuring pool table space and beverage bar and then again by the huge deck with fire pit off the family room. Just minutes to Old Lyme village and I-95, commuting is a breeze as is access to town amenities including White Sands Beach on Long Island Sound and Roger's Lake for fresh water swimming, boating, fishing and rowing. The cultural attractions of the Florence Griswold Museum, the Lyme Art Gallery and the Lyme Art Academy are likewise minutes away. Hoops to billards to beach to lake to museum to art galleries -- truly something for everyone.
