LOCATION
Nestled along the tip of Rhode Island's southwestern
coastline, the historic village of Watch Hill enjoys a
picturesque setting of broad beaches, sheltered deepwater
harbors and sparkling ocean waters. The area offers
excellent boating, sailing, and fishing along with many
private and public golf clubs. Watch Hill is approximately
100 miles from Boston and 140 miles from New York City.
PROPERTY
Hidden away on nearly two acres of lawns and gardens, this
beautiful 1923 shingle-style cottage is set on a knoll
overlooking sparkling Little Narragansett Bay. Entering
its hallways is to be trans- ported back in time, to an
age where summers were slower and truly magical.
The old-fashioned summer feeling begins on the bright and
cheerful 35 ft. long wicker-filled porch that makes an
ideal spot for relaxing and enjoying the sunset views
across the water. Inside, the home offers the period charm
of hardwood floors and a simple but charming kitchen with
great pantries and a dining porch. There is also a
large-beamed ceiling
living room with an adjoining dining room that both
include beautiful stone hearths. But most importantly,
from all over the house -including its 4-5 bedrooms
-windows and doors open to reveal the glorious water views
of both Potter's Cove and Little Narragansett Bay.
RESIDENCE
Upon entering the home one is greeted by a delightfully
spacious living room (15 x 21) with an adjoining dining
room (14 x 15). Each of these charming rooms possess their
own large stone fireplace and together they form a grand
space for entertaining. Bordering these rooms with a
series of connecting interior windows and a doorway, is a
large enclosed sun porch with hardwood floors and picture
windows.
On the other side of the dining room, a bar/pantry with a
wet bar acts as the passageway to a charming old fashioned
kitchen (14 x 12) that is flanked by another pantry, and a
small but wonderful screened breakfast porch. This floor
also includes a powder room.
The second floor contains a cozy master bedroom (15 x 16)
with a fireplace, hardwood floors and beadboard walls.
This room adjoins a full bath as well as an airy study (8
x 8) and all of the rooms sport panoramic views of the
water. Two additional guest bedrooms (12 x 12 and 11 x 15)
also overlook the water and include hardwood floors and
beadboard walls. Two other bedrooms along with two
additional full baths, as well as a laundry area complete
the second floor.
