Property Description
311 Brightwater is a seldom found Old Lyme Shores Beach property offering land and year round, one floor living. Originally six building lots, this 2,136-square-foot ranch is sited on an exceptional .59-acre parcel located well outside the flood zone with the benefit of no flood insurance requirement. A charming beach-stone fireplace in the living/dining room anchors the property. Beadboard details and a delightful three-season front porch complement the home. A large eat-in kitchen/great room affords easy entertaining. There are three bedrooms (one currently the office) and two full baths including the primary bedroom ensuite. A 2006 renovation added generous bonus room space with an office currently used as a guestroom. Other updates include newer windows, a 2018 roof and split units for heat and central air. Outside, an east facing deck is a wonderful place for morning coffee and relaxing at day's end. The grounds feature perennial and vegetable gardens, a garden shed and plenty of space for ball games and parking. Old Lyme Shores voted to install sewers, and the project is on the horizon with work underway. This property is a year-round home. Summers or year-round, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy one level living, the best of Old Lyme Shores and the opportunity to create your dream retreat. Welcome to the beach. Not in a flood zone. Septic system located behind the home. Lot 317 Brightwater to the north side was incorporated into the property in 2025 creating a .59 acre parcel. Front porch is heated with warm air. No AC in the porch except ambient when door is open from the living room. Not included in the SF of the home.
