LYME, CT — Small town, big price tags: Lyme's real estate market punches well above its weight this week, with a run of Connecticut River estates topping seven figures by a wide margin. Using the latest listings on Zillow.com, here's a look at the five most expensive homes currently for sale in town.
No. 1 on the list, by a wide margin, is 41 Joshua Lane, asking $7,250,000. Known as "River Knoll," the property is elevated above the Connecticut River and centers on an 18th-century Cape, built in 1750 and artfully expanded over the years while keeping its original character. Its riverfront setting has landed it in the pages of Veranda and CT Cottages & Gardens. The 4,544-square-foot home has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, sits on 9.41 acres and has been on the market 108 days.
Well behind it, at $4,650,000, is 150 Joshuatown Road. It's the biggest home on this list by square footage, at 6,346 square feet, with 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms (4 full, 1 half). It has been listed 89 days.
Rounding out the top three is 213 Beaver Brook Road, listed at $3,900,000. The main house measures 2,829 square feet, growing to 4,530 square feet with the addition of a guest cottage, and has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (2 full, 1 half). It has been on the market 121 days.
No. 4 is 155 Joshuatown Road, asking $3,700,000. At 7,930 square feet with 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, it's easily the largest home on this list — big enough that a family reunion could get lost in it. It has been listed 94 days.
Closing out the top five, at $3,395,000, is 53-1 Selden Road. The 4,734-square-foot home has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms and has been on the market 133 days.
