Step into a story spanning nearly three centuries. The Wade-Tinker Colonial, circa 1755, is not just a home - it is a meticulously preserved piece of New England heritage nestled on 1.38 acres of some of the most storied land in Old Lyme. This stunning antique colonial seamlessly blends the soul of the 18th century with the comforts of modern living. Every corner of this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home radiates character, from the original architectural details to the lovingly maintained interiors. Original wide-board white pine floors run throughout, providing a warm, historic foundation underfoot. The country kitchen is a space of pure charm, featuring a classic farmhouse sink and artistically stenciled floors that evoke a timeless New England aesthetic. Entertain in a formal dining room framed by original detailed moldings, a carved wood-burning fireplace, and elegant period built-ins that offer both beauty and utility. The finished attic is a special room - hand-hewn timber beams, a propane stove, wide-plank floors, and enough character to be a private retreat. It earns its own visit. Outside, the grounds were designed by Olmsted Brothers, the firm of Frederick Law Olmstead.. A breathtaking Beech Allee planted in 1922 forms a natural cathedral of greenery, and a private reflecting pond anchors the landscape in stillness. Mature boxwoods and expert-level plantings, curated over decades, complete the picture. A home like this does not come around twice Whole House generator - Two wells; one for gardens - Irrigation system - A Propane Jotul Stove in Attic - See Improvements list for much more...
