East Lyme Waterfront Property Sells For $6.5 Million

EAST LYME, CT — An Old Black Point home sold for $6,568,750, setting a record for the highest-ever residential sale in East Lyme and the highest sale in all of New London County in more than two and a half years, according to a statement from William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty.

Maris LeBlanc, broker associate with the company’s Niantic brokerage, represented both the buyer and seller.

"It was extremely gratifying to work with both buyer and seller," she said in a statement. "My clients had an extreme love for this home, which they custom-built, and then to see someone else love the property the way they did was very satisfying. It was highly rewarding for me to see it come full-circle."

The 7,000-square-foot, five-bedroom home is set on a "waterfront property (that) offers every amenity and was custom-built to marry today’s lifestyle with the historic character and charm of the neighborhood," according to the statement.

"Standout spaces include a chef’s kitchen with commercial appliances, slab marble, and impressive arched pocket doors; multiple bedrooms with balcony and en-suite bath; executive-style office with wood details and a hidden wet bar and fireplace; and a sunroom with heated flooring and full glass walls," the statement reads. "The exterior spaces show off the best of waterfront living and include a heated gunite pool and bluestone patio, outdoor fireplace, gas fire pit, professionally landscaped gardens and a private 110-foot boat dock."

The property, located at 249 Old Black Point Road, can be viewed on the company’s website here.
