15 Sill Lane Old Lyme, CT 06371

This is the one you've been waiting for! Gorgeous antique colonial in a fantastic location close to town and steeped in Old Lyme history, this beauty was home to four notable members of the original Lyme art colony. Once owned by Frank Bicknell and Louis Cohen and then separately rented out to artists William Chadwick and Bruce Crane, this inspiring property boasts a beautiful artist studio and the character, versatility and charm one would expect from such lineage. A chef's kitchen with a built-in banquet eating area, multiple ovens, work spaces and refrigerators flows invitingly into a family room with a fireplace and french doors beckoning to the terrace and beyond. An eating atrium is accessible from the kitchen and allows for Parisian type dining on those beautiful shoreline evenings. A first floor master is directly off the family room and is comprised of an office, dressing room, walk-in closet and master bath with a large soaking tub and steam shower. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a finished third floor playroom or storage space. There is a beautiful breezeway that leads to a large 19x12, three season sun room and separates the main house from a work-out area and large, one bedroom apartment overlooking the backyard. Outdoors, a massive, enclosed garden will delight those eager to dig in the dirt, and an outdoor shower to wash off when needed. A glorious copper beech tree partially shades the large, walled terrace. A bocce/boule court enhances the property.
