About this property
Historic John Burrows House in Downtown Mystic
It's rumored George Washington himself may have spent some time in this charming historic home! Tuck into the Burrows House in central Mystic boasting room for 12 or more guests. You will love discovering the hidden gems in this beautiful home. With modern updates and sunny rooms this house has all you will need for a comfortable family reunion or to reconnect with friends. Walking distance to downtown Mystic, a spacious stay with an expansive yard and gardens, ample room for fun indoors and out.
The space:
This wonderful home is just a 7 minute walk from downtown Mystic, and is located along the Mystic River in the charming historic district. Walk to over a dozen restaurants, shops, and even the Mystic Seaport.
Featuring over an acre of land, you will have access to expansive (seasonal) gardens, a pergola, fenced-in koi pond, beautiful stone walls and walkways, swing set, and two patio spaces. We also have outdoor games, a grill, and fire pit.
Enter the house through the garden level mudroom, with storage for shoes and coats. This floor also features a game room with darts and a pool table, and a historic pub with full wooden bar and living room. Enjoy a drink while you watch the game on tv, or play some ping pong. One of the sofas on this floor is a sleeper and there is also a half bath on this level.
Front and rear staircases lead to the first floor. There you'll find a well equipped kitchen (Thermador and KitchenAid appliances) with everything you need to cook a fantastic meal - All Clad and Le Creuset pots and pans available. Off the kitchen is a walk-in pantry, laundry room, half bath, breakfast nook, den, and doors leading to the rear patio. The main floor continues through the dining room (with a gas fireplace and river views), covered deck, living room with tv, office, guest room, and full bath.
Take the stairs to the second floor which features a large master bedroom with bath, 2 guest bedrooms, a small bedroom, full bath, and a walk through playroom (with bunk beds). All second floor bedrooms except one have views of the water. Bedding by Garnet Hill, L.L.Bean, Pottery Barn kids, and Serena and Lily.
Bringing children? They will love the bunk beds, swing set, and playroom stocked with toys. We also have a portable crib, high chairs, and stroller, available upon request.
Guest access:
You will have the house and yard for your use, the garage is not for guest use.
Other things to note:
Please keep in mind that this house is almost 300 years old. The stairs between levels are narrow and steep. This is not the right house for individuals with mobility issues and young children will need to be supervised on the stairs. There is also a natural rock ledge in the back yard that guests may use at their own discretion and risk. Exterior security cameras are present on the property.
