About This Home

As of December 2016

Enjoy unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean from every window of this 1920's Victorian set proudly on a knoll overlooking Foss Beach in desirable Rye, NH. This pristine, sandy beach is only steps from your front door. Extensive renovations include updated heating, HW and electrical services, refinished hardwood floors and beautiful fieldstone fireplace. Outdoor entertaining or relaxing is easy on the 14'x17' wrap around front porch with amazing ocean views. Or enjoy a BBQ on the adjacent 8'x16' side porch. Bonus- 1st floor bedroom and bath and an outdoor shower. Truly a magnificent location for your new beach home! (Note: no longer a shared driveway as aerial photograph in mapping suggests)
