Extensive professional landscape, brick walk, bluestone patio and circular drive welcome you to this Mile Creek colonial. A complete 2002 stem to stern renovation created a flexible open plan home. You'll find a large, center island kitchen, dining area and sitting area with wood pellet stove, formal dining and formal living room all with hardwoods. A nicely separated great room offers some quiet - yet close to the kitchen and great outdoor access. A larger, super functional mudroom entry makes the perfect drop zone along with a powder room. Front and back staircases lead to the second floor. Upstairs, there are 3-4 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The front stair leads to the 3 front bedrooms. The rear staircase leads to the bonus room - currently a teen bedroom. Great potential for in law suite, home office or fitness space. Outside, 1.71 acres is approx. 1/2 acre lawn area (not huge maintenance) and the remaining acreage lightly wooded. There is a fenced back yard area. An above ground pool with deck surround is operating perfectly. Mile Creek, one of the most scenic Old Lyme areas, with rambling farms and Black Hall River views, is an ideal central location. All within 2 miles Mile Creek Elementary, Old Lyme public preschool (free for all 4 year olds), LOL upper schools campus, town offices, beach and in town stores. Easy commute USCGA/Sub Base Groton, EB and Conn College and 38 minutes to Yale New Haven. A great home!
