About This Property

Set back in the trees on a quiet Stonington road, this one gives you privacy without giving up convenience. Downtown Mystic is about seven minutes out, the beaches roughly twenty, with restaurants, shopping and everyday errands close by. Mornings are easy here: coffee at the quartz counter, kids grabbing snacks from the walk-in pantry on the way to the door. Come home from the beach and pull straight into the attached garage. The mudroom just inside takes the sandy towels, sneakers and backpacks before any of it reaches the living space, and with laundry on that same lower level you handle it once and you're done. Upstairs, hardwood runs through an open living and dining area, and the sliders open onto a deck facing the woods. That's where summer dinners happen. Then the season turns and the room rearranges itself around the wood stove. Get a fire going on a cold night and the whole house settles in: warm light on the hardwood, everyone pulled toward the brick hearth, nobody in a rush to move. Per seller, prior ownership ran the stove through the winter as a supplemental heat source, with the warmth carrying well past the living room. Brand new central air handles the other end of the year. Bedrooms on both levels give a family room to grow, whether that becomes a guest room, an office or a teenager's hideout. Dinner in Mystic on a weeknight, errands on Saturday, then home to woods and quiet. Built in 1980, concrete foundation, public water. Worth seeing in person.
