A landmark colonial revival, Chestnut Pond presides with understated elegance over six majestic acres. Extensive renovations enhance a timeless dignity, creating a restful retreat. Enter the center hall, flanked left and right by the formal living and dining rooms. Full length French doors bathe the space in late afternoon light. These rooms open to a well-appointed, chef's kitchen with 48" Wolfe range, Subzero, multiple beverage coolers, expansive granite center island and butler’s pantry. The hallmark great room is ideal for hosting larger gatherings. Enjoy the fieldstone fireplace with window seats, extensive bookcases, and the ease of transition to outdoor entertaining through a wall of French doors. A mudroom/laundry room and dog wash are found entering from the detached 3-bay garage. Front/rear staircases lead to 5 BRs - a terrific master suite with fireplace and 4 ensuite bedrooms. Outside, completely reimagined grounds include the creation of a pond, garden maze, meditation area, orchard and rose gardens (a playful nod to Greco/Roman architectural roots) all enjoyed from terraced patios with serene fountains and an outdoor kitchen. Throughout, find exceptional appointments: renovated baths, hardwoods, built-ins and mechanicals: central air, oil hot water and heat and security system. Chestnut Pond is a captivating estate located one mile north of Old Lyme village, an easy 4-mile sprint to Amtrak/Metro North at Saybrook and 2 hours to NY and Boston. Magical.
