Rare offering in the heart of Rye’s historic district. This timeless antique colonial offers space, privacy, and a setting that’s hard to find. This backyard is a standout, perfect for entertaining, outdoor games or peaceful mornings. It is set on an impressive 1.73-acres surrounded by natural beauty, conservation land on one side, the town field on the other, and over 222-acres of the Rye Town Forrest just beyond, offering a lifestyle rooted in nature and community. The home offers four bedrooms, including a primary en-suite, 6 wood-burning fireplaces, beautiful wide pine floors, and the ease of second-floor laundry. Recent updates include new roofs on both the main house and sunroom, which also features new skylights. With the public library and middle school across the street, and vibrant downtown Portsmouth’s fine dining and boutique shopping only minutes away, this location perfectly balances quiet seacoast living with everyday convenience. Enjoy Rye’s pristine beaches just moments away where sunrise or sunset strolls can become a daily routine. Whether it’s surfing, swimming, or getting lost in a book with your toes in the sand, the coast becomes an extension of home. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to make a truly special place your own.
