About this home
Built in 1829, this charming farmhouse was renovated down to the studs in 2017, but retains much of its aesthetic charm. Sitting proudly on stonewall lined Washington Road, the home is warm & inviting. A spacious, well appointed kitchen with granite countertops, shaker style cabinets, built-ins, large center island & adjoining breakfast nook is light and airy. Off the kitchen, french doors open to a family room or potential office space. Beautifully preserved wide pine floors adorn the dining room, living room and front foyer. An asymmetrical fieldstone fireplace handsomely accents the living room. The split level stairwell, with exposed brick opens to both the front hall and has access to well-proportioned bedrooms. Light flows throughout the bedrooms, each with their own unique accents including a walk in closet, exposed beams & brick. The 3/4 bath with double vanity serves the 3 front bedrooms with ease. The master suite is truly a private retreat with a sizable walk-in closet, full bath, double vanity, claw foot soaking tub & walk-in shower. A large window looks out onto the open fields behind the home. The 1.86 acre lot is a charming mixture of pastoral fields, gardens & landscaped areas for a variety of outdoor activities. The meticulously restored authentic Post and Beam barn has been upgraded with new foundation, heat, electricity & water; perfect for the car enthusiast. The possibilities are endless with this unique property in the beautiful coastal community of Rye!
