Sea lovers will covet the 500 feet of coastline that come with a $7.5 million house in New Castle, New Hampshire, that was modeled on the same sort of grand beachfront properties familiar to in Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
The 3.72-acre property—named Beacon Rock and located on Wild Rose Lane, about an hour from Boston—was listed earlier this month by Tate & Foss Sotheby's International Realty. The house has views in three directions: Straight ahead are Gerrish Island, Maine, and the Whaleback Lighthouse, while to the southeast are the Isles of Shoals, and to the north is Fort Constitution and Kittery Point, Maine.

The home was built in 1883 and includes six bedrooms and five bathrooms. Boston architect Edmund M. Wheelwright, the man responsible for Beantown’s only Florentine-inspired building, a 156-foot-tall brick fire tower, designed the Colonial-style summer home which was originally built for American writer, critic and poet Edmund C. Stedman, according to the listing.
Architect William White, redesigned the main house in 1931 and his vision is what remains today.
