A little retreat in the heart of it all! Tucked along a tree-lined street, 177 Ames Street welcomes you with the charm and character of the 1930s. Beautiful stone steps, a covered front porch, and decorative fieldstone masonry along the foundation give this meticulously maintained home a distinctive touch of craftsmanship. Inside, you'll find four bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, including two full baths with beautiful soaking tubs, perfect for unwinding after a long day. A partially finished basement offers additional flexible living space, while plenty of storage throughout adds everyday practicality. The charm continues outdoors, where a spacious, fully fenced backyard creates your own private oasis. An above-ground pool, generous space for entertaining, and plenty of room to relax make this backyard a wonderful extension of the home. Off-street parking adds convenience. Just ten minutes from Sandy Beach and close to major highways, local restaurants, and shopping, this Fall River home offers the comfort of an established neighborhood with everything you need within easy reach. A charming place to settle in and call home!
About William South Canning Boulevard-Rhode Island
Avenue
William South Canning Boulevard-Rhode Island Avenue, located between Main Road (RI-77) and the Sakonnet River shoreline, is a residential and waterfront Tiverton neighborhood with salt-air views and a patchwork of marinas. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Main Road corridor near the Stone Bridge area, where boatyards, seafood counters, and small local storefronts set a working-coastal tone. Local pillars include Evelyn’s Drive-In for classic roadside fare, the historic Stone Bridge spanning the Sakonnet, and the Tiverton Four Corners arts district nearby. Housing leans toward classic New England capes and ranches mixed with river-facing cottages. Side streets feel quiet, while the water keeps daily life oriented toward docks, breezes, and sunsets.
