Curb appeal abounds at one of Rye's most beautiful historic properties. The home was built in 1871 as the West School and converted in 1936 to a private residence. A 2020-2021 renovation connected the home and carriage house. Focusing on design and functionality, the project included a two-car garage with front and rear doors, a stunning great room, a spacious mudroom, primary en suite expansion, and renovation of the apartment. Step into the carriage house and you will find impeccable craftsmanship throughout. It was converted in 2005 and no expense was spared. It features an open-concept kitchen, living and dining area, and a second space that could be used as a first-floor primary. Upstairs you will find a second bedroom and a flex space. Two custom closets and a primary bathroom complete this space. From the second floor of the carriage house, you enter the great room which connects with the original school house.
