From the street, one sees a c.1859 period antique cottage with its shingled facade and its signature red door, a nod towards Lyme's heritage. It was built when Joseph Trumbull was elected CT governor, which was amid the CA gold rush. Yet like a magician on stage revealing his feat, the water's side is an architect's vision that transforms the home into a light-filled, modern retreat where history and design meet in perfect balance. The rear elevation soars with glass and angles, framing Hamburg Cove as if it were a living painting. Inside, the design tells its own story. Vaulted ceilings flood the living areas with natural light. Custom cabinetry mirrors the motif of panes and squares that repeat throughout, blending architecture and craftsmanship in subtle, intentional ways. The kitchen is both efficient and stylish, featuring butcher block counters, innovative storage solutions, and contemporary fixtures. Living and dining spaces open to the outdoors, creating a seamless connection to patios, gardens, and the water beyond. Upstairs, every room is oriented to maximize views and comfort, proving that compact square footage can still live large when the design is right. Step outside, and the lifestyle becomes the headline! Landscaped terraces, stone walls, and multiple seating nooks invite relaxation and entertaining. A private dock brings Hamburg Cove to your doorstep!
