746 Long John Rd, Rye, NH 03870

End-of-the-road privacy in one of Rye’s most convenient locations! As you approach this expanded Cape along its gently curving drive, you’ll appreciate why it was tucked at the back of this 1.48-acre lot. Imagine how lovely it will be in springtime with perennials blooming! The home’s interior spaces are unique, and each room has its purpose. One guest suite on the first level and three bedroom options upstairs, including a primary suite with bonus space well suited for a dressing room, nursery or study. Architectural details in the Art Deco-inspired dining and living rooms are delightful…from built-in cabinetry, moldings and wainscoting to a bay window, beamed ceiling and brick fireplace (with gas log set). A granite-stainless steel kitchen with shaker-style maple cabinetry offers direct access to everyone’s favorite room…a private, three-season porch overlooking the sprawling patio, designed to complement the stonewall and wooded backdrop. It’s the ultimate spot to curl up with a good summer read…or enjoy cocktails with friends in the evening! Enter the casual family room (for play or movie time) through sliding doors from the patio or adjacent mudroom…work from home in a private office above the garage. Other conveniences include a large, modern basement (1997) with workshop and wiring for future automatic standby generator. Less than a mile from both of Rye’s schools, one mile from the ocean/Foss Beach and less than three miles from Portsmouth.
