Introducing Compass Rose, a rare coastal sanctuary perched above Narragansett Bay in the historic enclave of the Bristol Highlands. This extraordinary Gambrel-style residence rests on a double sized 1.54 acre parcel with 237 feet of private waterfront elevated over 20 feet above sea level for peace of mind and sweeping, unobstructed 180-degree views. From its commanding vantage point, the home captures radiant westward sunsets and water views from nearly every room. An oversized covered porch spans the length of the home, while a second-floor deck offers an even higher perch to take in the breathtaking panorama. A crushed pebble stone driveway makes a striking first impression, welcoming guests to a grand entrance with ample parking. Inside, elegant coastal living unfolds with a dramatic stone fireplace in the expansive living room, a gracious dining area, and a first-floor primary suite with stunning Bay views. Outdoors, meticulously manicured grounds showcase mature trees, vibrant beach roses, and lush gardens. A separate studio provides flexible creative or office space. Additional highlights include central air, a whole-home generator, and a private walkway to the beach. With membership in the Bristol Highlands Association, residents enjoy access to a private dock, beach, and tennis court. Elegant, elevated, and steeped in coastal tradition, Compass Rose is more than a home, it's a legacy property in one of New England's most beloved and patriotic waterfront communities.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
