South Road

Located just one mile from the beach, this pristine four-bedroom expanded colonial is set back from the road on 2.86 acres with beautiful mature trees, gardens and a private oasis of a back yard that abuts conservation land. Built in 1999, the 7,730 square foot traditional style home with architectural details such as copper covered eyebrow dormers, large windows and French doors which create a bright, coastal feel with a strong connection to outdoor spaces. The open floor plan creates great flow from the living room area with its floor to ceiling stone fireplace to the well appointed kitchen and octagonal step down sitting area overlooking the patio. Off the two story marble floor foyer is a separate dining room, a relaxing sunroom with gas fireplace, and a first floor en-suite bedroom that connects to an office.

Two staircases lead to the second level which includes three additional en-suite bedrooms, a comfortable family room and a bonus room. Other features of this gracious home include a walk through butlers pantry, wet bar, mud room and attached three bay garage. Gorgeous plantings include a variety of trees such as Elm, Crab Apple, Lilacs and a special chestnut from the Moffat Ladd House in Portsmouth that is from the parent tree at Independence Hall in Philadelphia.

This ideal location is private yet a short walk to the beach where Rye residents have reserved parking. The city of Portsmouth and the International Airport at Pease are just 7 miles down the road and Boston just one hour away.
