Retreat, grace, character, sanctuary are words to capture the essence of this admired Rye home. It is set on nearly an acre with a 54' pool & restored carriage house which provides an escape for an office, entertainment, fitness and wellness, or a retreat for extended stay guests. This architecturally significant, fully restored & expanded grand 1884 home has long been admired by passersby. Located in one of Rye's most admired neighborhoods, it offers an easy walk to town & train, with Whole Foods & other shops around the corner. The idyllic drive shaded by two old maples draws you in to the front entrance. The classic porch with all original details, is a favorite hang-out for early morning coffee. Situated on one of the highest points in Rye, there is often a gentle breeze even when it's hot & sultry in town. The back garden oasis is an unexpected & welcoming surprise, a touch of East Hampton in Rye. The pool with large pergola, vegetable garden, & stunning landscaping that would take decades to cultivate, adorn the yard. Outdoor dinners in this tranquil setting are simply magical, enhanced by vibrant sunsets from this elevated perch. A home like this does not come to market often. The owners have stewarded this magnificent home for three decades & have been rewarded with priceless memories.
