The Old Electric Trolley Barn – Rye Center OPTIONS FOR THE BARN: MULTIPLE CAR & OR BOAT STORAGE, SMALL BUSINESS, SINGLE FAMILY HOME. DEMO PERMIT CAN BE RENEWED. Built in 1898 by the Boston & Maine Railroad, this historic barn is a true Rye landmark. Perfectly situated in the heart of Rye Center, the property is just steps from the Town Hall, Public Library, Town Safety Building, Junior High School, and Parsons Field. Set on 0.28 acres, the solid barn has undergone extensive interior work and offers remarkable potential. With residential zoning in place, the property presents a rare opportunity to create a beautiful single-family home in a quiet neighborhood of similar properties. Home plans are available (subject to approval), and a 3-bedroom septic design and engineering work have already been completed. Variances approved in 2023 further enhance the buildability of this unique site.

With buildable lots in Rye becoming increasingly scarce, this property represents a rare blend of history, location, and future potential.
