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
Tucked away on a quiet tree-lined side street, this
wonderful Victorian seaside cottage is located just a
short walk from Watch Hill's gorgeous ocean beaches,
sailboat filled harbor and historic business area, which
is filled with charming restaurants, interesting shops
and the famous Watch Hill carousel, with its beautiful
hand painted horses.
RESIDENCE
Set on a knoll overlooking Watch Hill Harbor,
Napatree Point and the ocean, this handsomely restored
1890's gingerbread Victorian is bright and cheerful and
full of period charm.
First Floor: A front entrance hall leads on one
side to a delightfully spacious living
room (17x11.5 ft) and adjoining library (13x11.5 ft).
Both of these rooms have hardwood floors, handsome
moldings, floor-to-ceiling bookcases and sweeping views
of the harbor. The living room also adjoins a side sun
porch (16x7 ft) with a pitched beadboard ceiling and
lovely views of the harbor. A hallway leads to a full
bath and laundry area.
The other side of the entrance hall leads to a dining
room (16x10 ft) with wooden wainscoting and a handsome
built-in sideboard with storage drawers and a china
closet below. The dining room conveniently accesses a
walk-in pantry and a beautiful brand new kitchen (14x12
ft) with an adjoining sitting room (22x12 ft). Both of
these rooms are nicely detailed with beadboard cathedral
ceilings and wainscoting. The kitchen has top of the
line appliances, a center isle work area, custom wooden
cabinets and a skylight. The sitting room enjoys the
benefits of a large brick fireplace and French doors
that open to a wide wraparound porch - an ideal spot for
relaxing and enjoying the sunset views across the water.
Second Floor: A second floor landing with
skylight leads to 4 bedrooms and 2 full
baths. The master bedroom (14x12 ft) has hardwood floors
and overlooks the harbor. A guest bedroom (12x11 ft)
also faces the water and has hardwood floors and loft
high ceilings with a secret tower room above. An
additional twin bedroom (12x11 ft) faces the water and a
single bedroom (11x9 ft) and a sitting room/office
(11x8.5 ft) are on the front side of the house facing
the street.
Lower Level: A stairway from the first floor
leads to a family room and small kitchen (14x22 ft).
Adjoining this room is a handsome twin bedroom (14x11
ft) with an ensuite full bath. These rooms access the
lower level of the back porch and overlook the private
backyard. This level also includes a large workshop and
access to the cellar.
