Introducing one of Rye's most storied Victorian beauties - an architectural icon reimagined for modern living and poised high on a lush green hilltop, just shy of one acre. A rare in-town haven that feels like a private countryside retreat with a seasonal panorama of views and a myriad of alfresco entertaining spaces. Fresh from a high-end remodel and every conceivable upgrade, it marries 1890s period charm with a cool contemporary vibe soaring ceilings, striking wall-coverings, rich-hued wood floors. Every room of this 4,680 sq ft beauty is an invitation to socialize the stunning chef's kitchen and adjoining family room that opens to the ultimate party patio, the seriously chic dining room and sumptuous lounge/living room, the dramatic great room with trey ceiling and door out to the wildly pretty porch. Even the mudroom and sunlit office are enviable gathering spaces! The 2nd floor is quietly luxurious four glorious bedrooms two ensuite including the blissful primary with sundeck, and on the 3rd floor a bright airy guest suite. Fabulous lower-level storage and a 2-car garage. Unlike anything else!
