47 Smiths Neck Rd Old Lyme, CT 06371

Located at the end of Smiths Neck Road, this 2,170 sq.ft. three bedroom home is quietly sited on a small bluff and has the most stunning views over marshes to Long Island Sound, the Connecticut River and the Saybrook lighthouse. An inlet meanders through the marshes past nesting ospreys and winds around the 8+ acres. Mature trees grace the property with a lawn that sweeps down to the marshes and a guest house. A path leads to the site for a future dock approved by the DEP. At the west side of the Colonial home, a bluestone patio has wide sunset views and makes an ideal area for entertaining and al fresco dining. Throughout the home there are oversize and floor to ceiling windows so that most of the seven rooms enjoy the views and brings the outside in. The upper level opens to a deck and enjoys the 180 degree views over the property and beyond to Long Island Sound. The guest house on the property has one bedroom and one full bath. In the evening, distant lights over Long Island can be seen. Old Lyme is known for its rolling hills, the never ending stone walls, beaches, country club, antique shopping, art galleries, the famed Florence Griswold Museum and for being the birthplace of American impressionism. The home is only a five minute drive for shopping and I95. Located on the east side of the Connecticut River, Old Lyme is halfway between New York and Boston.
