Quintessential home in the heart of Rye! This beloved home radiates warmth and classic charm. Within walking distance of the town library, Rye Middle School, and Parson’s Field, you can live in the community's heart. The home features a generous open living room with a central fireplace/wood stove, flanked by custom shelving and cabinetry to display your literary and tangible collections. Entertaining is a breeze in the dedicated dining room, with beautiful views of the private, fenced backyard and conservation land abutting the property. The kitchen features warm wood cabinets and hardwood flooring, like the rest of the house. An extra-deep bay window lets in bright easterly sunshine. A cozy breakfast nook offers views of a neighboring field for your early morning coffee. A first-floor bedroom, a cozy office/den with more custom woodworking, a full tiled bath, laundry room, and a very special small plant room with water and access to the back deck round out the first floor. The second floor includes the primary, with 2 walk-in closets and a ¾ bath. Two additional bedrooms, a cedar closet, and a full bath complete the floor. The abutting 2.77 acres of conservation land will be conveyed to the homebuyer. Just minutes to the ocean, Portsmouth and all that the Seacoast can offer!
