2 Ashby St, Mystic, CT 06355

The heart of downtown Mystic, the Mystic River in view, and two homes on one rare property. The 0.29-acre corner lot at 2 Ashby St. makes shops, award-winning dining, and the waterfront part of daily life rather than a destination. Few downtown addresses offer this proximity, and even fewer offer it twice over. Rarer yet, this one includes off-street parking. The main residence carries an active short-term rental permit, an increasingly rare distinction downtown, while the carriage house is a permitted long-term Accessory Dwelling Unit. Whether that means hosting guests, generating income, or simply having room to spread out, the flexibility is built in. The 3-bedroom main residence has been thoughtfully updated with refinished hardwood floors, an open floor plan, a newly added half bath, central air conditioning, fresh interior and exterior paint, a newer roof, a rebuilt chimney, newer gutters, and 200-amp electrical service. A 350+ square foot walkout lower level adds laundry along with flexible space for an office or guest suite. Outside, an outdoor shower makes coming home from the beach exactly as easy as it should be. Across the landscaped grounds, the fully converted carriage house stands on its own merit. More than 1,000 square feet includes a recreation room with a wet bar, an office, and a half bath on the main level, with a complete studio above featuring a full kitchen, bath, and living area.
