Testarossa al Mare offers an unparalleled opportunity to own a piece of New England history. Built between 1903 and 1904 by philanthropist Emma Blood French and Dr. Leonard Melville French, the estate was designed by the renowned architect William G. Rantoul. This architectural gem is a fusion of English Manor, Tudor, Italian Renaissance, and Colonial Revival styles, showcasing a visionary design. Spanning over 2.21 acres, the estate features 5 bedrooms, nine bathrooms, and expansive living areas, all carefully crafted for grand entertaining. The exceptional craftsmanship includes distinctive chimneys, Doric columns, an expansive piazza, intricate wood moldings, and beamed ceilings. A striking red roof crowns the property, offering sweeping, unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean and surrounding marshlands, preserving its historic charm while emphasizing the foresight of its original creators. In addition to the main residence, the estate features a fully equipped in-law apartment, providing flexible living arrangements for extended family or guests. A four-bedroom carriage house is also available to purchase, offering ample space for guests, staff, or family. These thoughtfully designed additions ensure the estate's functionality and upkeep. Lovingly restored, Testarossa al Mare remains a timeless masterpiece — an extraordinary blend of history, elegance, and coastal beauty awaiting its next chapter.
