Alright, let's be real for a second: Is 287 Mistuxet Ave the house I'd move my wife's 92-year-old grandmother into? Not a chance. Would I throw a black-tie gala for the Stonington Education Foundation here? Heck no. Invite former Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano over for a quick cup of Earl Grey? Well... maybe. The woods are pretty spectacular, so she might enjoy the scenery! But here's the real deal-this house has been an amazing home. It's been our base camp for everything from beach trips to unbelievable kayak adventures and even weekend getaways to the rest of New England. Mystic is right around the corner, and trust me, this spot is where memories are made. Let's talk about the bones: this place is solid. It's had some excellent updates, like brand new windows (so don't even think about replacing them, buster!), a 2023 minisplit system that keeps you cool in the summer and toasty in the winter, and hardwood floors that have stood the test of time. Now, could you throw in a few more updates? Absolutely! Maybe some new countertops? Or hey, keep the current ones-they've got charm! Refinish the floors? Sure, if that's your thing. Or just kick back and enjoy the magnificent oak throughout the house as-is. This house is awesome enough to move into today-or you can sprinkle in your own upgrades over time. It sits on .8 acres of serene, wooded land, which means plenty of privacy and even a trail that leads to the Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center.
