Heading your way today is this one off barn style home located in the lovely Mill Pond section of Sill Lane in one of the town's most desirable areas. The home is a marriage of two barns joined together in the 60”s, framed in post and beam style with hardy colonial chestnut. The open floor plan leads the visitor into a “wow factor” great room with 24' ceiling height; walls of windowed glass and a huge central hearth. The kitchen features Wolf five burner gas cooktop under a stunning 10' copper hood. Retreat to the rear of the two story section, passing the first floor bedroom, to find an elegant and cozy library/den/office with a frequently used fireplace, perfect for winter evenings. Upstairs you'll find the Loft and master bedroom and new bath and a second guest bedroom with full bath. The views and elevations throughout present a pinch of Provence, but given the open, light filled character, the house can be... (and has been) .. home to many different styles of decor. Inviting and entertaining outdoor spaces offer peaceful privacy, including a covered morning porch, a 50 foot stone patio, a Viking outdoor kitchen and a Bocce (or Petanque) court. Surrounded with fruit trees, rose and hydrangea gardens, spring brings a riot of colors that last through the fall. Located where the scenic CT River meets Long Island sound, Old Lyme offers residents a safe and friendly lifestyle with wonderful K-12 schools, noted museums, art galleries and local train service to NYC and Boston.
