Set high on a knoll at the end of a quiet lane, the property offers a rare sense of tranquility, beautiful gardens, abundant natural light, and water views from every level. Just steps from the ocean, the house delivers the best of Seacoast living without being located in a high-risk flood zone. Built in 1935, it was thoughtfully transformed through an extensive ‘down-to-the-studs’ renovation by architect Lisa DeStefano and builder Jeff Andrews in 2000. Original details such as the arched doorways and beach stone fireplace were preserved, yet the systems, craftsmanship, and amenities expected for modern living were incorporated. The updated kitchen features granite countertops, maple cabinetry, and newer Thermador appliances. A first-floor office with an adjacent three-quarter bath provides flexibility for a variety of needs. Upstairs, the vaulted primary suite enjoys ocean views, dual closets, and a luxurious renovated bath with radiant floor heating, a freestanding soaking tub, tiled shower, and double-sink vanity. Two additional bedrooms share a full bath, while the top-floor recreation room opens to a rooftop deck showcasing spectacular ocean vistas...an unforgettable place to enjoy morning coffee, sunset cocktails, and evenings beneath the stars. A welcoming front porch, sprawling pergola-covered deck, private firepit nook, and beautifully landscaped grounds invite effortless outdoor living. Mature flowering gardens, tupelo trees, blueberry bushes, stone walls, and granite steps create an enchanting setting. Conveniently accessed from both Ocean Boulevard and Parsons Road, the property is a short stroll from Wallis Sands Beach and Odiorne Point State Park. This is a home where family and friends gather, traditions are celebrated, and memories are made! Seller is a licensed agent.
