This waterfront Jewel Box awaits its next steward. Originally built in 1790 and set along the scenic Barrington River, this very special property is truly one of a kind. The current owners have meticulously restored and updated it throughout. Every inch of it has been touched to perfection - all while keeping the original historic charm. Custom Marvin windows let the sunlight in and mimic the original versions. The kitchen was reconstructed and re-insulated with a new rubber roof, the baths were both updated with white subway and marble, and new custom bookshelves and cabinetry help create intimate spaces. The front and rear porches were also completely rebuilt including the foundation, ceiling, decking and screens. Offering the perfect vantage point to enjoy the views of the active Barrington Harbor. A New Veissman boiler with all new plumbing and electrical add to the many improvements. The yard is expansive and the property also features a one car garage and a large barn that could be renovated to suit any need. Step across the street and admire the beach roses on the sea wall or take a walk down picturesque Mathewson Road. Within an easy commute to Providence, and a short stroll to the bike path and all of the amenities Barrington has to offer - including Blue Ribbon schools, this is a rare opportunity to own one of the most admired homes in town.
