Magnificent curb appeal hints of the wonderful interior layout of this sun-lit contemporary Cape. Before entering the home, pause to enjoy the picturesque front porch on this quiet cul-de-sac. Pride of ownership is evidenced by lovely manicured lawns and landscaped gardens with in-ground sprinkler system. The main floor features an open layout perfect for casual living and entertaining. There is a well-appointed chef's kitchen with granite countertops, stainless appliances, abundant storage and work areas. The kitchen is supplemented by a formal dining room and a breakfast nook. The true show-stopper is the living/great room with vaulted ceilings, skylights, wood burning fireplace and easy access to expansive rear deck and yard. The modern layout provides a first floor primary suite with full bath. There is a convenient first floor laundry and half bath. The wow effect is boosted by the upper balcony overlooking the great room with creatively designed spaces for fun or quiet time. 2 additional bedrooms, a hall bathroom and a spectacular bonus room round out the upper level. Another perk is a walk-in closet that can substitute as a home-office. The attached 2 car garage and free-standing shed provide excellent storage. The dry, high-ceilinged basement features 3 well lit distinct rooms with opportunities for work or work-out spaces with built in cabinetry. Old Lyme is the quintessential shoreline town, rich in the arts with beautiful beaches. Two hours to Boston and New York.
