Fantastic opportunity in the City of Rye - welcome to 85 Grapal Street, a sun-drenched Colonial one block away from the thriving heart of downtown Rye! This multi-family home has been expanded and opened up to live like a single-family home - bring your loved ones and enjoy open spaces and private corners throughout, or convert the first floor back to a legal income bearing separate apartment and live upstairs! Enjoy the covered front porch year round as you take in the sights and sounds of nature in bloom - front bluestone steps recently redone. As you enter, note the elegant hardwood flooring and original details throughout that mark this home with an abundance of character and historical touches. Updated first floor bathroom adjacent to spacious eat-in kitchen, with access to driveway via side door off kitchen. Note original and amazingly well-maintained hardwood flooring throughout to the living room, with its wood-burning fireplace and plethora of windows. Sliding glass doors from living room out to lush, fenced, and private backyard - the perfect spot to unwind after a long day! Upstairs, you'll find two spacious bedrooms and an office space (which could function as a flex space/work from home area/guest room), and a laundry room - the laundry room would be a perfect spot to convert into a true primary en-suite bathroom, or restore to a private kitchen! There is a perfectly sized full bathroom on the second floor as well. Last but not least, you'll find the sprawling primary bedroom, with adjacent California-style closet in the hallway - as is typical for this house, note the abundance of windows bringing in sunlight, making those hardwood floors shine and sparkle! Lower level is perfect as a flex space and abundant storage area for all your family and holiday needs! 85 Grapal sits in a location close to perfection - enjoy the quintessential neighborhood experience with wide tree-lined sidewalks on a tranquil street in a highly sought after area close to town. Find yourself steps away from shopping, fine dining, Rye's Metro North station, the Rye Nature Center, Rye Recreation park, schools, worship, yacht clubs and marinas, the Edith Read Wildlife Sanctuary, access to I-95, I-287, and the Boston Post Road (Route 1), and you're only a six minute drive to Playland Park and Rye Beach! Don't let this fantastic home pass you by!
