Finally, a house as nice in real life as the photos make it seem! A strikingly "young" house built in 2018, this 4-bedroom home, under one mile from Wallis Sands Beach is a great opportunity to achieve your coastal lifestyle. Be charmed by the oversized windows upon walking into this move-in ready home where all of your essentials are on the first floor. After parking in your two-car garage, you will walk into custom-built cabinets, quartzite countertops, white oak floors, wood-burning & gas fireplaces, and tall ceilings that wrap around you to create a beautiful coastal embrace. A first-floor primary suite offers the ability to age in place and make this a move for the future. Also on the first floor are two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom (tub/shower combo). In the lower level, you will find one more bedroom with a daylight full-egress window. In addition to the workout room, you also have a cozy gas fireplace with moody movie lighting, a space for a game room or hobby room, and separate utility storage. But the amenities of this luxury beach house don't stop there! In the backyard, you have a private back deck anchored by lush mature vegetation and an oversized shed for all of your gardening supplies. This house is truly an exceptional offering in Rye and only requires you to bring your toothbrush and bathing suit! Showings begin Tuesday 9/8.
