Property Description
History and elegance are embodied in the Studebaker Mansion at Rye Ledge, NH’s most pristine coastal landmark, where auto exec Clement Studebaker Jr. built his magnificent home (c.1917) on the rocky New England coast. The Estate has been meticulously preserved retaining its vintage architecture, while at the same time furnishing the best of modern comforts. The Reception Hall will transport you through time, placing you among those who summered on the Seacoast in the early 1900's. Pass your dinner jacket to the Cloak Room attendant and wander past the majestic winding staircase to the Salon, where a string quartet plays soft background music to match the unparalleled views of the Atlantic Ocean beyond the Solarium. The focal point of the Salon is the 7 by 7-foot fireplace on the west wall. This magnificent marble mantlepiece was originally commissioned in 1907 and came from the Guggenheim estate. The elegant fireplace accents the antique bookcases placed in individual alcoves on either side of the entrance to the Morning Room. The Kitchen anchors the house with its massive kitchen island; original cast iron stove; the ample Butler’s Pantry and Wet Bar; and is flanked by the Billiard Room and the Formal Dining Room. The 2d floor reached by 2 generous staircases contains 7 bedrooms. The Master Suite leads to the Upper Terrace, providing astounding ocean vistas. The Estate is beyond comparison with extraordinary ocean views, lush grounds and perennial gardens.
