**Entirely new roof and wood sheathing completed June 2024. ** Welcome to the Henry S Chapman House, sitting proudly in Old Saybrook village since 1837, with an addition in 1881 by Charles Pratt. It's is a wonderful blend of old-world craftsmanship and modern amenities, such as all new windows, new HVAC, new roof, a new kitchen and a new primary suite. The first floor includes a timeless kitchen with custom Mouser cabinetry, GE Profile and Bosch appliances, radiant heat and Brazilian soapstone countertops. A large bay window looks out onto the back yard and is flooded with southern light. A wide cased opening extends the kitchen into the living room, creating a more current open floorplan. The living room includes a gas fireplace retrofit to the original woodwork, with a Colonial "warming drawer", historically used to keep food warm close to the chimney. Generous windows in the office welcome great natural light while a wood burning fireplace, wide-plank "King's wood" floorboards, and a wall of bookshelves add to the ambiance. The picture perfect dining room also has built-ins, a gas fireplace with the original detailed wood mantle, built-in bookshelves and wide-plank floors. The enormous family room has the feel of a renovated barn, with exposed rough-hewn beams, fan windows, a loft and new French doors that exit to the patio.
