1 Honey Hill Lane

One of Lyme's most exceptional properties: the Seth Ely House. Overlooking the Eightmile River and its millpond, this home offers a beautiful blend of antique charm and modern luxury with comfort. Arrive to the sounds of a cascading waterfall and flourishing gardens. Tasteful updates allow this outstanding residence to seamlessly marry its 18th-century heritage with sophisticated modern living. Gleaming hardwood floors flow throughout the intuitive layout, beginning with a generous entryway leading into a living room with a cozy fireplace. Adjacent to the lovely dining room is a classic butler's pantry and an updated, perfectly configured kitchen. Filled with natural light, the kitchen features marble countertops and premium Bertazzoni appliances. Just beyond, step down into the sunken great room, anchored by a second fireplace and crowned with coffered ceilings. Walls of windows lead outside to the patio, gardens, and river views. Upstairs are three beautifully appointed en suite bedrooms. A polished half-bathroom is located on the first floor for everyday convenience. Tucked at the back of the property sits a private studio guest cottage. Complete with a full bathroom and loft, it could also serve as a delightful retreat or a quiet home office. A detached garage also features a superb studio apartment above with a kitchen and large private deck-ideal for guests or potential rental income. This captivating home and picturesque setting create the ultimate retreat! Honey Hill Lane, Lyme - off of Mt Archer at the millpond waterfall.
