Elegant Colonial located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. Located in the Chestnut Hills section of Old Lyme, this exquisitely maintained development is one where kids still safely ride their bicycles, families enjoy evening strolls together and a sense of small-town community remains. Enter through the welcoming front foyer showcasing a beautiful turned staircase. Next, look to your right and see gorgeous French doors leading to a formal dining room or a 1st floor office. The first floor living area is made cozy with a beautiful stone fireplace. The kitchen and bump out eating area over-look a lovely private backyard which abuts 8 acres of protected woods. The second floor boasts a master bedroom with bath and walk-in closet. Two more bedrooms plus an office or possibly even a conversion to a fourth bedroom add to the upstairs living space. But there's more, tall ceilings and rays of sunlight beam into a recently updated bonus room. Tired of carrying laundry upstairs and down? A second-floor laundry room is just down the hall from your bedroom. Not included in the 3000+ square feet is another 1000sf finished walk-out basement, the opportunities for which are abound: In-law suite au pair suite? Man-cave? This space already includes a living room with wood stove, possible bedroom, full bath and exercise room. Walk-out the sliding glass doors to an additional deck & entertaining area, from there walk to your inground pool surrounded by charming landscaping and a shed.
