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!
