About this House

Here are all the great “bones” that make the prospect of doing refined refreshment and adding modern creative touches exciting and rewarding. A classic 4–5-bedroom antique Rye year-round beach cottage with trademark fieldstone fireplace, wainscoted woodwork, hardwood floors and all the character and quirky charm you'd expect in a 1920's residence. There are unique Palladian windows and exposed beams, random sitting areas, plus a three-season sun porch and the possibility of a first floor primary. Formal dining and living rooms complement the eat-in kitchen. The detached garage has second floor living space complete with kitchen, full bath, bedroom, and private deck. Planning Board approval needed to make a legal apartment. The yard is expansive and open, punctuated by stonewalls and distant ocean views. A short bike ride to the harbor and beaches. Any investment in this prime location would be well rewarded. Bring the past into the now and start living in Rye within distant sight and sound of the ocean.
