More economical than a condo. This renovated 2-3 bedroom cottage is affordably priced and sits high up on the hill with distant views of the Sakonnet River from the front porch. Enjoy your morning coffee and watch the sunrise to start your day. Expansion on the 2nd floor, where the views will be even better, is possible. The driveway is freshly paved including the side parking area which provides room for cars to easily turn around. Additional parking is in the detached garage which has a new garage door and opener. The 1930's floorplan was opened up and modernized in the last few years by the previous owners and included windows, new bath and kitchen full renovation, new appliances, updated electric, new heating system and oil tank. The current owners purchased in 2020 and replaced the septic system ( 3 bedroom isds) and added several mini split a/c units throughout. An outdoor shower is plumbed and the drain installed, just choose and install the fixtures. Ready to move right in, the property is currently being used as an office. The sellers are looking to close/vacate the property at the end of October.
