278 Sowams Rd, Barrington, RI 02806
About this home
Fantastic opportunity in Barrington! This wonderful ranch style home with a front porch has plenty of space and amenities inside, and room to roam outside. Arched doorways welcome you into the living room that's complimented by a built-in bookcase and French doors. The open floor plan feels even more spacious with cathedral ceilings in the large family room that flows into an eat-in kitchen with a sunny three-window nook, granite counters, a large island and stainless steel appliances. The living area sits between four large bedrooms and two full bathrooms, all of it cooled by central air. Plus, there's room to expand in the 1,700 square foot, walkout basement that leads to the garage. Outside, a deck overlooks a fenced, nearly half-acre yard with a well and sprinklers, next to a peaceful nature conservancy that has a maze of trails. The features also include 200 amp electrical service that's backed up by a generator, a new roof and low maintenance vinyl siding. All of this, within a short ride to the East Bay bike path and wonderful Barrington Town Beach, and a great selection of restaurants in town and in nearby Warren. Your private showing is a phone call away.
