Property Description

This prestigious landmark residence, designed for entertaining, traces its origins to the mid 1800's where sitting on the front porch, welcoming guests, and taking in year-round ocean breezes are part of the home’s everyday experience. Built by industrialist Frank Jones as part of a small collection of homes he developed along New Hampshire’s Seacoast, the property blends historic significance with enduring lifestyle appeal. Located within the Rye Beach Precinct, it overlooks the fairways of Abenaqui Country Club and sits just a block from Rye's beaches. The 1.17-acre setting provides both location and structure, with expansive grounds and established gardens designed for entertaining and relaxation. A covered front porte cochère welcomes arrivals, while rear porch extends living outdoors. A pergola overlooking the gardens creates a sheltered setting for outdoor dining. Architecturally, the home reflects the French Second Empire style, expressed through a mansard roof, tall windows, and intricate period detailing that create symmetry and presence. High ceilings, original wood floors, detailed millwork, and generously scaled rooms support both formal entertaining and everyday living. The Great Room, with marble flooring and a tin ceiling, serves as a central gathering space, while the kitchen and pantry anchored by an AGA stove form the working heart of the home. The residence offers eight bedrooms and multiple baths, highlighted by a spa-inspired primary bath featuring radiant heated floors and a custom steam shower. Two staircases and a private Stiltz lift provide seamless access throughout the home, while thoughtfully integrated modern systems including security ensure comfort and peace of mind. Convenient to Boston, the property combines architectural heritage, expansive grounds, and close coastal proximity, making it ideally suited for both year-round living and seasonal retreat.
