42 HIGHBRIDGE- Sited in one of the most desirable locales in Lyme, this stunning reproduction colonial is nestled on 21.30 private acres with gorgeous northerly views. The interiors are bright and well-appointed with a sizable chef's kitchen that steps down into a formal dining room surrounded by windows and a walk-out to the landscaped grounds and gardens. Adjoining the kitchen and dining room is an expansive living room with wood-burning fireplace which opens through French doors to a lovely covered porch/patio and in-ground swimming pool. Rounding out the first floor is a light-filled office to the front of the house and a functional laundry/mudroom entry from the breezeway to the attached two-car garage. An en suite primary bedroom with wood-burning stove on the second floor is complemented by two additional bedrooms with a shared bath, while a versatile open space on the uppermost level is perfectly suited for a rec room or additional living space. Above the garage is a generously-sized accessory studio with a kitchenette, bath, and its own private entry. The renovated sugar shack is incredible (+ approx. 285 sf). The grounds are a lovely mixture of landscaped gardens, lawns and curated mixed forest, all of which overlooks the gorgeous long-range vistas. Located minutes from downtown Lyme and a short drive from Hanover, Dartmouth College, and area schools, this property offers the convenience of proximity coupled with the luxury of privacy.
