1367 Ocean Blvd, Rye, NH 03870

Just across Ocean Boulevard, steps to the sea and a few hundred feet south of Wallis Sands Beach, lies a classic Victorian era home that offers fine ocean views. Not to mention marsh vistas to the rear. From the balcony or family room, you command direct views of the Isles of Shoals. You can savor exquisite sun rises over the islands and, in summer, marvel at the Tall Ships as they sail towards Portsmouth Harbor. Fall brings the majestic formations of Canadian geese migrating to the south and sea fog punctuates the bracing brilliant days of winter. The home has a large eat-in kitchen, formal dining area and family room with fireplace. Most rooms have truly grand ocean views. The master and guest bedrooms are on the second floor and there is over-flow guest space in the third level "Turret." Outside is a private deck with hot tub. The three-car garage provides ample parking as well as a one-bedroom year-round apartment. This is old Rye shorefront at its comfortable best: dramatic ocean views, short walks to the sandy or rocky beaches of Rye and direct access to the good life on the New Hampshire coast.
