A truly rare offering in the heart of Old Lyme Village. This beautiful antique with story book setting perched on Academy Lane with an absolutely dreamy fa?ade. The home is a short walk to the water, schools, art galleries, shops, restaurant, church and all that the quaint and charming village of Old Lyme offers. The gentle slope of the private back lawn is highlighted with a magnificent rock out cropping. In addition there is a wonderful shed/barn with large windows perfect for artist studio, writers nest or other private sanctuary spot. The converted double parlors made into a first floor primary bedroom with walk in closet and full bath ensuite. The kitchen was expanded and is open to a family room full of windows overlooking the private back lawn. Dining room, living room with a beautiful fireplace, a powder room and mudroom/office complete the first floor. Two bedrooms and a den on the second floor and a full bath. The entire home has high ceilings and the “icing” is a wonderful front porch to sit, relax and enjoy lovely Academy Lane.
