1 Fessenden Rd, Barrington, RI 02806

Elegant brownstone steps edged by Quartzite walls grants entry to this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath waterfront beauty in Barrington's Rums tick neighborhood, adjacent to the town beach and featuring views of Prudence Island and the length of Narragansett Bay. Front rooms overlook a charming duck pond, while back-facing rooms enjoy southern exposure, with sunrises and sunsets viewed year-round from the generously proportioned deck and attached sun room. Seven-foot solid wood doors, Windsor window casings, period chair rails and oak flooring lend an air of Colonial charm, while oversized Andersen windows, sliders, and nine-foot tray ceilings allow sunlight to reach deep into the home. The open-floor plan provides natural flow between the sun room, living room with wet bar, dining room, and kitchen, the latter enhanced by granite-topped counters, high-end appliances and cabinetry, and endless Bay views. All three bedrooms are on the main floor of this easy-living ranch, plus a master bedroom with tall sliding doors to the deck and a seashell-shaped jetted tub in the en-suite bath. The home features not one but two heated garages. A huge, three-bay space facing the street is big enough to accommodate an RV or at least a half-dozen cars and boasts a workshop, mezzanine lounge, and an elevator accessing the main floor. The rear garage can be used for additional vehicle storage or, with five sets of sliders facing the water, may be reimagined as a home gym or other living space.
