Property Description

Modernist Elegance - Discover a master class in Mid-Century Modern design by Charles Moore, one of the founders of Centerbrook Architects and Dean of the school of architecture at Yale. Tucked away on 5.88 private, wooded acres near the historic heart of Old Lyme Village. Built in 1972, this 3,971-square-foot contemporary estate is a rare architectural find, where bold geometric forms meet the tranquil beauty of the Connecticut shoreline. The journey begins in the large foyer leading to the expansive living room, a soaring centerpiece defined by cathedral ceilings and a wall of glass sliders. This transparent boundary invites the outdoors in, leading you directly to a stone patio and "garden room" courtyard-an intentional architectural transition designed for effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining. From the main gallery, the home flows into a large, modern culinary hub featuring a sun-drenched eat-in area with a custom built-in banquet, perfect for slow mornings. For quieter moments, the private library offers a sanctuary of refined comfort, complete with rich hardwood floors and floor-to-ceiling built-in bookcases. The main level is anchored by a large primary retreat, a space designed for ultimate convenience with its own private sitting room and a sprawling, boutique-style walk-in dressing room. Upstairs, the architectural drama continues with two additional bedrooms-each boasting their own cathedral ceilings-connected by a classic Jack & Jill bath
