Swede Hill, one of Block Island's premier properties sits on one of highest elevations, offering breathtaking ocean views and spectacular sunsets. This four-bedroom romantic family retreat offers more than 3600 square feet of impeccable living designed by the award-winning architectural firm Estes/Twombly. Built to LEED Gold standards, Swede Hill was recognized with an AIAri Honor Award for outstanding achievement in architectural design. The tree-lined driveway ascends to a romantic hilltop retreat sited on 4.2 acres. The eastern stone walled entry garden welcomes guests to the Great Room offering spacious living, elegant dining and kitchen space, custom millwork throughout. The glass wall of the Great Room looks out at the western bluestone deck which doubles as a covered breakfast and grilling area and to an elegant 50' salt-water infinity pool. A separate Guest Suite to the south, with private covered deck, is complete with a Maine Cedar hot tub and provides light and airy living /office space and expansive storage. The primary Suite is an extension of the home's seamless design with custom millwork, private balcony, soaking tub and limestone shower. Block Island has been named one of the Twelve Last Greatest Places on Earth by the Nature Conservancy. This is one of the "greatest" spots on the island!
