Nestled in the Hadlyme section of Lyme, "Tail of the Whale" is a charming 4-bedroom Cape set along picturesque Joshuatown Road. This serene retreat offers stunning westerly views over the Whalebone Estuary and 325 feet of frontage on Whalebone Creek, with tidal access for kayaking or canoeing to the nearby cove and Connecticut River. The gently sloping lot conceals a wetland with level lawn at the water's edge and a naturally occurring swimming hole-perfect for cooling off on a hot summer day. A large composite deck invites peaceful outdoor living affording sublime views amid captivating natural surroundings. Inside, the nicely updated kitchen features a bay window, wood floors, granite counters, twin sinks, and a gas cooktop range. The versatile L-shaped living/dining room has wood floors, a handsome brick fireplace, and direct access to the deck. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom captures water views and shares a full bath with two additional bedrooms. The lower-level walkout provides ample storage, workspace, and potential for future expansion. A custom built detached two-bay garage, extensive stonework, professional landscaping, and manageable flower gardens enhance the appeal of this unique waterfront gem.
