Morning coffee on the porch comes with a sunrise over the Atlantic and a view that runs from Jenness Beach to the Isles of Shoals and south to Cape Ann. Set above Ocean Boulevard in Rye Beach, 1 South Road looks out over one of the most recognizable stretches of the New Hampshire coast. The covered porch, the brick patio and the ocean-facing rooms all take in the water, which changes with the light and the seasons, from calm summer mornings and sailboats on the horizon to the long lines of surf after a winter storm. The four-bedroom, three-bath home offers approximately 3,250 square feet on 0.44 acres. Its elevated position and its outlook are what set it apart, and the house itself is ready for its next chapter. Update the kitchen and baths to your own taste, renovate and expand, or build new, subject to all required approvals, and shape a home designed around the view. Jenness Beach is steps away for a morning walk or a late-day swim, Abenaqui Country Club is a few minutes up the road, and Rye Harbor and the coastal paths of Odiorne Point are close by. Downtown Portsmouth’s restaurants, shops and waterfront are a short drive north, with Boston and Portland each within easy reach. Whether used year-round or as a summer home, 1 South Road pairs a Rye Beach address and a wide Atlantic view with the freedom to shape the house around it.
