    What's special

    Oceanfront estateEstate-like settingSophisticated sitting roomGrand entryPrivate office
    Perched dramatically along the pristine Rye coastline, the oceanfront estate at 24 Straws Pointstands as a masterpiece of luxury on New Hampshire’s highly coveted and tightly held 18 miles of direct waterfront. Enjoying a rare geographic orientation, this legacy property commands breathtaking, sweeping panoramic views looking south all the way to the Massachusetts North Shore coastline. Adding to its unmatched exclusivity, the residence is one of only nine historic homes that directly abuts a magnificent, protected oceanfront common right to its front, ensuring an estate-like setting and a lifetime of unobstructed coastal beauty. Spanning over 7,000 SF of architectural craftsmanship, this residence presents an elegant 3-story silhouette from the front while cascading into 4 complete levels of oceanfront living from the back. The main entry level features a grand entry, sophisticated sitting room, private office, and a gourmet kitchen flowing into dining and family spaces facing the water. The home boasts 16 rooms, including 4 second-level en-suite bedrooms (septic officially approved for 4 bedrooms) and 6.5 baths. The incredibly versatile floor plan offers expansive flexible-use spaces for multi-generational living. The second floor includes a sitting room landing with a hall bath and a dedicated guest overflow room. The third floor reveals a private 3-room suite complete with an en-suite bath and laundry. The walk-out lower level adds an exercise room, full bath, and a spacious bunk room for guest overflow—exiting at grade to the oceanfront grounds. Inside, majestic living halls feature soaring ceilings. Outside, the private sanctuary is anchored by a heated, built-in swimming pool positioned to catch the sea breeze. 24 Straws Point offers privacy, timeless elegance, and a generational Seacoast living experience.
