In the heart of Old Lyme at 18 Ferry Road, where history whispers through the trees, there lies an enchanting 1890 home, a setting so magical it was chosen for the Hallmark movie 'Next Stop Christmas.' This storied estate, with its rich past and inviting presence, opens its doors to reveal a narrative of elegance and comfort. At the heart of this home is a large chef's kitchen, a culinary theatre where flavors are crafted and memories are seasoned to perfection. It's a space where family recipes and gourmet adventures come to life. Adding to the home's allure is a spectacular room where exposed beams rise above and a pool table stands at the ready, promising endless entertainment. The tale unfolds further in the primary en suite, a luxurious retreat within the retreat. Here, a large sitting area beckons with the soft crackle of its own fireplace, a cozy nook for nights of reflection or mornings of leisure. The adjoining large bathroom offers a sanctuary for rejuvenation, while the walk-in closet provides a haven for treasures. The private au pair suite offers a chapter of its own, a story of privacy and comfort for those who become part of the home's extended family. Outside, the narrative of this home continues with an in-ground pool, guest quarters, and a pool house. This Old Lyme home is a living story awaiting new authors to fill its pages with tales of joy, gatherings, and the creation of timeless memories. 2 hours from NYC and Boston! Address is 18 Ferry Road Old Lyme, off of Lyme St.
