Historic home in downtown Mystic-1 block from green, river, shops & restaurants

Step back in time to 1828 and walk the same halls as Charles Mallory, Mystic’s most prominent shipbuilder (see Mallory buildings and exhibits on display at Mystic Seaport). The Charles Mallory House is a 7 bedroom (sleeps 15), 4.5 bath (3750 sq ft) home located on .65 acre. This newly renovated home was the home of Charles Mallory and his decedents from 1828-2012. Located in historic downtown Mystic, the Charles Mallory Mystic House is ideal for extended/multi-generational family celebrations and reunions. Are you the parent(s) of the bride or groom who is getting married in the surrounding area? Or parent(s) of a Coast Guard student, Connecticut College student, or other academic institution? If so, this is the perfect house to accommodate your guests who are attending your once in a lifetime functions. Leave your car behind as this Greek Revival Home is a 1 block walk to Main Street Mystic, Mystic Green and River, numerous restaurants, bakeries, shops and the infamous Mystic River Bascule Bridge.

Beautiful flower gardens surround the house as well as a front and side porch, a 1,000 sq foot antique bluestone patio with grill, and picturesque 7 foot fountain. An expansive back yard is perfect for your family gatherings or a quiet time to read a book or swing on the tree swing. Two Stand Up Paddle boards (SUPs) that convert into kayaks and 2 kayaks are available for your use. Please note, per recommendation of our insurance company, there are four outdoor surveillance cameras. One camera covers the backyard and carriage house, a second camera covers the driveway and the third camera covers the the patio area. A ring camera is located on the front of the house. There are no cameras located inside our home.

The Charles Mallory House has two floors. The first floor showcases a gourmet kitchen that includes an 8 burner, 2 oven Wolf stove, pot filler, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, an over sized island and granite counter tops. Four fireplaces are located in the dining room, family room, living room and bedroom. The first floor bedroom (king bed) with an en suite bathroom is perfect for guest who do not want to climb stairs. A half bath completes the first floor living area.

A foyer with a grand curved staircase (great for pictures) takes guests to second floor or guests can enter the second floor via the servants stairway. Three more fireplaces can be found among the 6 second floor bedrooms (2 king bedrooms- 1 with attached bathroom, 2 queen bedrooms, 1 bedroom with 2 twin beds, 1 bedroom with bunk bed and trundle). A total of 3 full bathrooms complete the second floor living area.

This downtown location is only a 5 minute drive to Mystic Seaport, Mystic Aquarium, Esker Point Beach and Williams Beach, movie theaters, Old Mystic Village shopping, wineries, Fields of Fire Adventure Park and only 20 minutes to Rhode Island Beaches, Foxwoods, and Mohegan Sun Casinos. This property requires the signing of a contract that includes cancellation terms, payment details, and rental terms that could not be outlined within the constructs of the VRBO rental framework. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out for clarification. Thank you for looking at our house and we look forward to having you and your friends and/or family members as our guests.

This home is wonderful. It's stately while still being warm and inviting. The grounds are amazing with a charming swing, beautiful patio with a fountain, and lots of space for kids to run and play. The kitchen is stocked, the beds are cozy, and the location is an easy walk to shops and restaurants. The owners are super responsive and even had cookies and spirits for us when we arrived, an unexpected touch. We were a family of 14 and it was perfect. We can't say enough about it. On a scale of 1-10 it's 11. We loved it here.

The home was perfect for our Saltwater Farm Vineyard wedding weekend! Due to a last minute schedule issue we had to do hair & makeup for 11 at the house and having all the great space downstairs was great! We also enjoyed relaxing on the patio and the very short walk to stores, restaurants and ice cream! Could not ask for a better location with a quiet yard, patio and tree swing but a block away from stores and restaurants. My brother-in-law enjoyed sitting on the front porch. The kitchen is amazing but with the wedding weekend we did not use it much, but we did enjoy the wine and cookies left by the host on the large kitchen island. Highly recommend.

Wonderful home for large groups

The Mallory House is perfectly situated-walking distance to downtown with lots of indoor/outdoor space to host large groups. The kitchen was well stocked to handle our family of 14 and there was plenty of room to sit and catch up. Skip and Lynn were incredibly responsive to any questions we had or providing recommendations. I would certainly bring the family back if the opportunity presents itself.

So nice, we came back twice!

This was our second stay at the Charles Mallory House - we love this little town and the house is the perfect size for a large group, perfectly located right near town, and so tastefully restored with real charm. The house was spotless and the beds were SO comfortable. We were so happy to come back for a second year in a row. We had great weather and were able to fully utilize the patio and firepit. We love the Charles Mallory House and can't wait to come back for a 3rd time!
