The home
A house that keeps the tide’s hours
At the quiet end of Harbor Lane, where the Mystic River widens toward the Sound, this cedar-shingled home was designed around one idea: every room should know where the water is.
Built in 1998 and thoughtfully renovated in 2021, the main level opens from a deep front porch into a sunlit living room with 18-foot ceilings and a white-oak fireplace mantel. The kitchen anchors the house with a quartz island, a 48-inch range and a walk-in pantry, and flows into a dining room that comfortably seats ten.
The primary suite sits on the main level with its own water view, a soaking tub and heated bath floors. Upstairs, three further bedrooms share two baths, with a window seat on the landing that catches the evening light. Outside, a 640 sq ft deck faces the harbor, and the 0.6-acre lot is edged with mature hydrangeas and a stone path to the lawn.
Mystic village, the Saturday farmers’ market and the town dock are all within a ten-minute walk.
