Fall in love with this handsome Old Lyme village Colonial tucked privately in the center of it all, yet a world away. The village location makes an easy walk to top ranked middle/high schools, full day 4 Y.O. pre-school, town hall, library, churches, galleries, shops - even a barber shop. OLCC golf/pool, paddle/tennis is 1000' away. You are greeted with high ceilings and architectural millwork, light and space, warmed by clay tile and wide board floors. Find a large eat-in kitchen and a lofty great room opening to the heated porch with bluestone floor. A formal living or dining room can double as a first-floor office. The well-planned mudroom/laundry/landing zone is well set off the kitchen with great storage. Completing the first floor is the primary bedroom and full bath. Upstairs find 3 BRs, one with a deck and views. There is a full bath and expansive cedar closet. The partially finished lower level offers game/fitness space and storage not included in the SF. Here you'll find a green, efficient geothermal heating/cooling system. Outside, the three-season covered porch, patio and deck offer great flow for entertaining. The cul-de-sac location is superb with level, open grounds and a partially fenced, pet friendly rear yard. Incredible boating and paddle adventures await along with white sand beaches just down the road. The Nature Conservancy calls this area, "One of the last great places on earth." We agree. Make this your forever home. Home NOT in an AE flood zone.
