Description

Sited amongst the gentle rolling hills and sweeping farmlands of Lyme, this special antique colonial was built over 3 different centuries! From the grand stairwell, hand hewn beams, wide board floors, fireplaces (one with beehive oven) - to the updated well designed kitchen/pantry/sunroom with cathedral ceilings and skylights plus lots of glass, this home melds the grace of the past with the current style and trends of present day. All custom cabinets by local premier cabinet maker Bill Robinson....Sited amongst the gentle rolling hills and sweeping farmlands of Lyme, this special antique colonial was built over 3 different centuries! From the grand stairwell, hand hewn beams, wide board floors, fireplaces (one with beehive oven) - to the updated well designed kitchen/pantry/sunroom with cathedral ceilings and skylights plus lots of glass, this home melds the grace of the past with the current style and trends of present day. All custom cabinets by local premier cabinet maker Bill Robinson. This home is rich in history - the original simple cape was built in 1750, a more elegant addition was added in 1865, and in 1997 a completely new kitchen open to a sunroom was added respectively with the quaint red barn being original to the house. There are high ceilings and oversized windows in BR's and the baths have been updated with granite, flooring & some cabinetry. LR has recessed lighting with exposed beams and DR has french shelving along one wall. There is a full house generator - propane owned. The grounds boast brick walkways, an inground pool with landscaped gardens, patio, barn and a detached 2 car garage. A pleasant, private back yard leads into some wooded areas where Beaver Brook traverses the back boundary of the property. Property is also close by to the Nehantic State Forest. Lovely and inviting home!
