About This Home
Location, Location, Location. Mystic gem on one of Mystic's most iconic streets known on Park Place. This historic home was built as the "John Prentice" home in 1853 and is an original homestead in the Mystic community. This property was enjoyed by the same owners for past several decades. Now it is the time to create a new chapter for this legendary homestead. The main entrance to the home features decorative staircase to the upper level that includes full bath and bedroom with kitchen in the rear of the building. This pristine destination enjoys coastal access to the Mystic River only a stone's throw from your front doorway where you can wheel your kayak to the boat launch. Park Place savors quiet enjoyment and privacy on this dead end street which opens to expansive water views and a boat launch for recreational activities. Nautical adventures await you up and down the magical river including those from the Mystic Seaport's annual antique wooden boat show and holiday lighted boat parade. There are two homes on this parcel inclusive of the 2 family home and the stand alone guest cottage with its own entrance way and driveway. Water views and close proximity to Downtown Mystic make this home a treasure where you can enjoy all the amenities offered in the Mystic community. The stand alone cottage is ideal for visiting guests or revenue opportunity. The rear of the property is bordered with a three car garage with automatic opener. ESTATE SALE, NO DISCLOSURES.
