About This Home

A rare and distinctive offering in the heart of Mystic, the Albert G. Stark House is a notable circa 1850 octagonal residence, representing a unique chapter of mid-19th-century American architecture. Built during a brief but influential period when eight-sided homes were celebrated for enhanced light, air flow, and efficiency, this property stands as one of the area's few remaining examples of this architectural style. Inside, the home showcases beautiful large-plank hardwood floors that enhance its historic character. Generous dining and family rooms provide ideal spaces for entertaining and everyday living, blending period charm with comfortable proportions. A modern kitchen complements the historic architecture, offering updated functionality while fitting seamlessly into the home's timeless appeal. Adding to the home's charm is its unbeatable location-just a short stroll from Mystic's renowned shops, restaurants, and attractions. Whether you're savoring fresh seafood, exploring local boutiques, or enjoying a sunset walk along the waterfront, the lifestyle here is as exceptional as the home itself. This is your chance to own a rare and remarkable piece of Mystic. Don't let it slip away-schedule your showing today at 8 West Mystic Ave!
