Charming beach Cottage with open concept, desirable Rye low taxes and school district, and reasonable utilities, all located just five minutes to Portsmouth and beaches. Naturally sunny and bright, gorgeous maple flooring and a wood-burning brick fireplace all welcome you home. Floor plan flows nicely with the living room to kitchen to family room (has a baby grand piano). Master/larger bedroom has a vaulted ceiling and good closet space. The full bath has undergone upgrades over the past 6 years. Recent improvements include 2015 Hardie plank siding and new sheathing, 2018 water heater, 2017 maple flooring, 2016 oversized Victorian 12’ x 16’ Reeds Ferry shed, new lighting, new exterior doors, new vanity, and the attic with pull down for additional storage. Additional amenities include a separate laundry room, fenced-in raised box garden, private backyard, and house set far back from the road. Better than a Condo with no monthly Condo fee, great for your dog, walk 0.5 miles to Little Harbor Beach via Sanders Poynt, walk 2 minutes to Wentworth Country Club or drive less than five minutes to Market Basket and downtown Portsmouth. Rye residents enjoy a "town pass" to area beaches. This is a great Seacoast location, home, and community! Located directly across the street (far back from the road) from the Ice House (room service) restaurant. Six Ranch cottages share the driveway, septic, and snow removal. Very affordable and convenient. No monthly fee or homeowner’s association.
