Sleek serenity on the Sound - this is Rye like you’ve never seen it.

This 4/5 bed, 3.5 bath Bauhaus-inspired home by Charles Forberg offers exceptional privacy, its own dock, and water views from every angle. The front facing south overlooks Zen-inspired gardens and Manursing Lake, while the rear faces northeast and opens to sweeping views of Long Island Sound through walls of glass. Thoughtfully and completely renovated interior blends iconic modern design with luxurious updates, it features a new open kitchen with granite island, great room with cathedral ceiling, and a teak deck with panoramic vistas. The main-level primary suite includes a boutique-style dressing room and luxe bath. Upstairs, two private wings offer flexible living, each with water views and a spacious bonus room ideal for family, guests, or work-from-home lifestyles. Enjoy sunrises, sunsets, kayaking, and birdwatching in this peaceful, private and protected oasis with direct access to the surrounding waterways and just minutes from beach clubs, top schools, downtown Rye, and Metro North.
