Description

The 'Gavitt House' stands as an exceptional example of 18th-century New England architecture-one of the early historical border houses between Rhode Island and Connecticut. Relocated 50 years ago to its tranquil setting in Lyme, this distinguished antique rests amid a rolling countryside of open meadow, sturdy hardwoods and bordered by the protected lands of Nehantic State Forest. Within its 3, 400 square feet of living space are 2-3 bedrooms, two and a half baths, and an abundance of period detail. Wide board floors, beamed ceilings, extensive moldings, and seven fireplaces showcase the craftsmanship of a bygone era, while 12 over 12 windows fill most rooms with natural light. Gracious formal rooms flow effortlessly into inviting gathering spaces, designed for comfortable living and easy entertaining. A finished walkout lower level provides flexible space-ideal for guests, in-laws, or a private studio. Kitchen and baths are ready for updates and customizing. Set off a quiet country road and surrounded by nature, the 'Gavitt House' offers timeless character, cherished privacy, and the rare opportunity to own a piece of New England's architectural heritage. Experience the rural charms of Lyme and the natural beauty of the Connecticut shoreline from this truly remarkable home.
