12 Beckwith Ln Old Lyme, CT 06371

At the end of the a village lane, across from where a river runs, is a most charming humble abode. This quintessential salt box was built in the 1800's, with simple additions through the years, most recently in the 80's. Home to an easy living village lifestyle, with glimpses of the Lieutenant River from almost every room.....Open concept kitchen/living room with a vaulted ceiling and a lovely stone fireplace. Light and bright, the dining room off this area (currently used as a bedroom) has french doors both from the living room and to the outside deck, with a vaulted ceiling as well. A spacious first floor Master suite can be found on this level along with a main floor laundry. Arguably the best screened-in porch in town will have you enjoying the view of your yard, gardens and river for at least 3 seasons. Additional 2 bedrooms and full bath upstairs on the second level. A separate 2 bay garage with a workshop/potting room. Partially finished basement offers more storage and easily converted to living space, as it remains dry. Electric heat pump hot water heater installed in 2016, roof less than 10 years old. Great option for a condo alternative or weekend retreat. Beaches, shops and restaurants nearby including ice cream parlour, chocolate shoppe, coffeehouse and local library, not to mention the middle and high schools. With a few updates this can be your perfect village home, with plenty of room to expand, if desired, or just make it your own. Agent is owner.
