A handsome & pristine C1850 4 Bed 3 Bath residence on much revered Lyme St, in the historic village district of Old Lyme. Steeped in history and formerly part of the town hall it was remarkably moved by horse & cart to its current site to become the post office & a masonic hall. In 2011 it was painstakingly converted to a private home from the ground up by the current owner, with every high end detail of construction & design imaginable, displaying an exquisite taste level. Upon entering the home, one is greeted by a very welcoming, expansive & dramatic hallway leading to a main floor guest suite, a chefs kitchen, and a small sitting room. At the end of the entrance hall are the glamorous formal living and dining areas, perfect for large party entertaining. With double height ceilings & windows providing abundant sunlight & air. The dramatic curved staircase leads to the upper level. There you will find the other 3 bedrooms, a media room and a wonderful landing for quiet repose, overlooking the living & dining spaces. The private & intimate garden can be accessed from french doors off of the dining and kitchen. Featuring lovely fruit trees, perennial flower beds and spacious terracing its a perfect space for outdoor dining and relaxation. This wonderful home provides all the comfort and luxuries one can ever need and minimum maintenance, whether being used as a primary or weekend getaway. 2 hours +/- to NYC or Boston 1hour +/1 to Bradley/Greene Airports
