The Captain William Rose House, located on Calico Hill, is a charming property in close proximity to Old Harbor and the beaches. Lovely, expansive views overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, Harbor Pond, and Crescent Beach. The main house has a renovated kitchen and vaulted dining room, both facing the view, as well as a living room, laundry room, and powder room on the first floor. A bedroom and den with separate entrance and a full bath complete this floor. Upstairs there are three additional bedrooms and a full bath. There is a detached three bay garage with plenty of room for storage and a guest suite above. The guest suite has a nice, spacious bedroom, living area, and full bath. In addition, there is a shed to store beach or gardening supplies. There is a pretty yard facing the views to the northeast, as well as decks on two sides of the house. Wonderful property that offers convenience to many of Block Island's attractions.
