55-2 Beaver Brook Road, Lyme, CT 06371

This reconstructed antique Colonial stands as an enduring example of 18th-century New England architecture. Reconstructed 50 years ago in its current setting in Lyme, this distinguished antique rests amid a rolling countryside of open meadow, sturdy hardwoods and bordered by the protected lands of Nehantic State Forest. Within its 3,400 square feet of living space are 2-3 bedrooms (town record says 2 bedrooms but there is a 1,000 gal. septic tank which would suit 3 bedrooms), two and a half baths, and an abundance of period detail. The Kitchen has been recently updated, while the baths are in need of renovation. Wide board floors, beamed ceilings, extensive moldings, and seven fireplaces showcase the craftsmanship of a bygone era, while 12 over 12 windows fill most rooms with natural light. Gracious formal rooms flow effortlessly into inviting gathering spaces, designed for comfortable living and easy entertaining. A finished walkout lower level provides flexible space-ideal for guests, office, or a private studio. Set off a quiet country road and surrounded by nature, the 'Gavitt House' offers timeless character, cherished privacy, and the rare opportunity to own a piece of New England's architectural heritage. Experience the rural charms of Lyme and the natural beauty of the Connecticut shoreline from this truly remarkable home.
