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.

The house was so welcoming with cookies, water and wine waiting on us. The kitchen was the best stocked kitchen at a home we ever stayed. There were plenty of towels and a basket full of blankets to snuggle up with during the chilly evening. The house is in the perfect location for walkable restaurants. We also enjoyed walking to the shops, the Christmas tree lighting and the holiday boat parade. The hosts kept us informed of upcoming events. We had such a great Thanksgiving holiday as 2 families united. We are very thankful for a magical time in Mystic in such a wonderful home with such caring hosts. I highly recommend staying here.

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.

Wedding trip

We absolutely loved our stay here. We were a large group staying in town for a wedding and this was the perfect property. The house itself is charming with tons of great space for large groups to hang out. We took advantage of the great kitchen and dining room a few times. The bedrooms were also very comfortable and can accommodate kids or couples. The bathrooms were also newer. The location can’t be beat. And finally, Glenn and Lynn couldn’t have been nicer to my family and were extremely generous.
