About 24 Great Bay Road
The Robert Avery House is an historic property listed with the Greenland Historical Society and originally built circa 1729. This coastal timber frame farmhouse was completely rebuilt from the frame up in 2021. The result is a one-of-a-kind home that beautifully blends 18th-century character with refined, modern living. Inside, the craftsmanship is evident in every detail—wide King Pine floors, exposed hand-hewn beams, original joinery, antique hardware, plaster walls, and solid maple cabinetry. Many finishes have been thoughtfully reclaimed, including an original fireplace surround, offering a rich sense of authenticity throughout the home. The sun-filled, vaulted kitchen boasts an award winning design and occupies a wing of the home that once served as a schoolhouse. The second floor hosts a spacious primary suite along with two additional bedrooms and a shared bath. A fourth bedroom with its own en suite bath is located on the third floor. Modern upgrades add comfort and convenience without compromising the historical soul of the house: a full home security system, Lutron smart lighting throughout, a reverse osmosis water filtration system, and a generator. Outside, the landscaped yard features an inviting bluestone patios, a fire pit, and a beautiful custom water feature. Ideally located on a quiet road just minutes from Great Bay, Seacoast beaches, and vibrant downtown Portsmouth, this rare offering provides the perfect balance of historical charm and modern quality.
