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.
