BEAUTIFUL VIEWS: To all antique home enthusiasts, come walk through history in this 225 year old direct waterfront home on Hamburg Cove in the Hamlet of Lyme. With direct access to the Connecticut River and Long Island Sound, this c1790 Center Chimney Colonial was restored on site after being moved from its previous location in Lisbon, CT. A house worth saving, said Edward Friedland, book author and historian of Antique Homes. Like an old soul, the house aged gracefully over its 225 years. Sitting high above water's edge on the east side of the cove, afternoon sunlight floods the house through the large twelve over twelve true divided light windows. In the early morning the rising sun lights up the western shore of the cove for a spectacular morning view. The 1.58 acre property also holds an oversize garage with storage as well as a large post and beam barn relocated from Vermont. Lounge on one of three granite stone terraces with granite steps leading to a stone pier at water's edge. The cove is perfect for swimming, boating or just cherishing the view. During the restoration process, craftsmen worked to maintain the historic details that have been bestowed upon the house over its history, while incorporating modern mechanicals during its restoration in 1995. Conveniently located between Boston and New York, the home can be a tranquil retreat as a second home or live the dream as a primary residence.
