Originally built around 1768 as a classic New England Cape, this remarkable home was lifted in 1910 to add a new first floor, creating high ceilings and spacious rooms rarely found in homes of this era. Known as the Bell Farm, the property blends rich history with thoughtful updates. The main residence offers 6 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, a fully applianced kitchen, and washer/dryer. A large screened 3-season porch off the kitchen provides a perfect spot for warm-weather living. Each room has its own thermostat for customized comfort. A 2-bedroom apartment, constructed in 1987 with its own septic, adds versatility-ideal for rental income, guests, or multigenerational living. It includes a separate utility meter and heating (shared well-water), a fully equipped kitchen, washer/dryer, and a second-floor balcony with sunset views into Vermont. Recent upgrades include a 2022 self-cleaning water filtration system serving both house and apartment. The yard features two mature apple trees for delicious fruit each fall. The current owner envisioned assisted living, and many safety improvements were completed, including a fire alarm system tied to the local fire department, other code-compliant features, and a sprinkler system (motor needed). Set on River Road with 1.8 acres, this prime location is just 5 minutes to I-91 and 19 minutes to DHMC, this unique property offers convenience while maintaining the peaceful charm of Lyme.
