About this home
Offered for the first time in over 25 years, this 3-bedroom ranch-style home presents a clear opportunity to renovate and personalize to your taste. Its single-level layout offers practical living, with a fireplaced living room, an eat-in kitchen, and a south-facing sunroom that opens to a small deck overlooking the backyard. Bordered by conservation land on two sides, the property is naturally set within the landscape in a prime location. Enjoy easy access to nearby amenities, including the Rye Recreation fields and Town Forest trail (0.25 mile), Goss Farm (0.3 mile), Rye Harbor (0.6 mile), Jenness Beach Access at Old Beach Way (0.9 mile), and Abenaqui Country Club (2.2 miles). The vibrant city of Portsmouth—known for its restaurants, shops, and arts scene—is just a 15-minute drive away. More recent updates—heating system, roofing, and siding—provide a solid starting point for interior improvements. Additional conveniences include an attached garage and a 6KW generator with a 10-circuit manual transfer switch. Whether you envision a year-round residence or a coastal retreat, this property offers a path to creating something of your own!
