My family and I have been coming to Mystic for over 10 years and renting properties around town, but I can undoubtedly confirm that this property tops all others. The external aesthetic gives you that wonderful sigh as you approach the home, and the interior carries that through beautifully with it's attention to detail through the home to stay true to that classic new england style. The open concept, backyard, porch, and kitchen layout make it ideal for getting a big group together to play games, cook, or lounge where you never feel separated. Additionally, having 4 bathrooms and one on each floor makes a big difference when in a large group. The walk to town along the river, beautiful aesthetic, and logistical layout make this one a winner. I don't plan to rent anywhere else.

About the host
Hosted by Todd M Greenfield
I am a history buff and was fortunate to grow up on the CT coastline surrounded by old Victorian homes filled with character and beauty. I started building furniture and restoring vintage pieces in my teens and parlayed that interest into a career restoring and designing older homes that need some love and attention. The result is a beautiful reconciliation of modern convenience and nostalgic charm where guests can experience a beautiful piece of history.
Why they chose this property
The historic district in Mystic, CT is one of the prettiest neighborhoods in New England. The homes are pristine and well taken care of and reflect their maritime history and nod to the past. The neighborhood winds around and parallels the Mystic River and drawbridge, one of the oldest in the United States. There are boats and sailboats and mature coastal plantings that dot the entire community. Further, the historic district is a mere 5 minute stroll to downtown Mystic shops, restaurants, boutiques and Mystic Seaport.
Importantly the neighborhood is a vibrant community where neighbors all wave to one another and lemonade stands and a hopscotch pattern is etched into the sidewalk directly in front of the house. The neighborhood is as special as the house!
