Splurge: Historic Queen Anne Victorian Overlooking Mystic River For $2.79M
First, we preset 8 Willow Street. This charmer is ideally located in historic Mystic offering five bedrooms, three-full-and-one-half bathrooms, and sits on a prime 0.35-acre lot. But that’s not all.
According to the listing, “Built in 1899 and undeniably one of the most prestigious properties of the era, originally built for Mystic’s major mercantile owner and family-Mystic Dry Goods. This stunning Queen Anne Victorian overlooks the Mystic River, enjoying the vibrant maritime activity that the area is noted for.”
Of course, we love the Queen Anne Victorian architecture throughout, which per the listing, has been meticulously maintained and updated over the years. You’ll enjoy gorgeous hardwoods, gracious formals, an exquisite gourmet kitchen, game room, and more.
Even better the listing says it’s “Nicely located for walking to all that Historic Mystic offers — Restaurants, shops, Bookstores, Mystic Seaport, Seasonal activities and events.”
