The sea breeze leads you home to this classic Rye Cape, set on 1.57 acres near the ocean. Loved by the same owners for over 30 years, this is a place for gathering, where family and friends have celebrated countless occasions. Here, colorful sunrises and sunsets, salt air, and the sounds of the coast are part of everyday life. At the center of the home, a renovated kitchen (2021) with a leathered granite island and stainless-steel appliances opens seamlessly to light-filled dining and sitting areas, where a wall of windows overlooks the irrigated back lawn. Hardwood floors and natural cherry built-ins lend warmth and character to the main living space, which also includes a fireplaced living room made for settling in with a favorite movie or show. The heated sun porch, with its distinctive compass rose underfoot, and recently expanded deck invite effortless indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. Two bedrooms and a shared full bath make first-floor living easy. Upstairs, a private bedroom level captures a view of the ocean and includes a full bath with double sinks and a walk-in shower, dressing area, and office. The walkout basement offers a bonus bath and generous storage, with direct access to the backyard and a charming storage shed. An attached two-car garage offers potential for future expansion above. Surrounded by beautifully maintained properties in an established coastal neighborhood, the setting is particularly special. Stroll to Foss Beach, open the windows to fresh ocean air, enjoy colorful sunsets from the deck, and embrace a quintessential Rye lifestyle, all within easy reach of Portsmouth and Newburyport. Showings begin on Friday, October 23rd.
