Mere steps to Town Hall, Rye Library, and Parsons Field, you can watch 4th of July Fireworks and town parades from your front porch. Bike or walk to the town trails and connect to Rye Recreation Area or continue to the beach. The parcel is further enhanced by an oversized backyard despite being in the center of everything. Enjoy lazy summer days on the back porch and relaxing evenings with friends and family by the firepit. The elongated barn style garage was built to house a sawmill and provides a vast amount of space for all of your bikes, surfboards or whatever your hobbies may be. Inside we find an open concept kitchen and living room. Kitchen upgrades include a gas stove and custom seating overlooking the yard. Moving towards the front of the house we find a spacious dining room with bonus alcove perfect for a small office. The downstairs is finished by the master bedroom. Upstairs contains two additional bedrooms and extra storage spaces. Access the deck, backyard, and garage, from the expertly renovated mudroom featuring radiant heated flooring. This home is a gem in the middle of all of Rye's offerings. Current owners have loved making a home here and are excited for the next owners to experience the joys the property provides. Act quickly and experience this wonderful seaside community for yourself.
