This beautifully restored 1800s historic home in Mystic, Connecticut seamlessly blends timeless character with modern luxury. Originally built in 1835 by Henry Holdredge, the home reflects a rich architectural evolution. The doorway retains its original Greek Revival pilasters and cornice, while later enhancements introduced Victorian influences, including bay windows, a Gothic-inspired pointed gable, and an ornate canopy over the front entrance. The structure was carefully relocated to allow for a new foundation, installed to meet current insurance and building standards, before being returned to its original position and meticulously restored. Every effort was made to preserve the home’s historic charm. Original trim details were thoughtfully replicated and restored, with new craftsmanship designed to integrate flawlessly with the existing architecture. The result is a cohesive aesthetic that honors the past while embracing contemporary living. The property also features a detached office/garage, as well as a thoughtfully designed accessory dwelling unit (ADU), ideal for hosting guests or extended stays. An inviting in-ground pool enhances the property’s courtyard setting, creating a private and relaxing outdoor retreat. Inside, state-of-the-art integrated smart home technology—including whole-home audio and advanced security systems—ensures comfort, convenience, and peace of mind throughout. This exceptional home offers a rare opportunity to experience historic elegance with all the benefits of modern construction.
