2678 E Main Rd, Portsmouth, RI 02871
About this home
Welcome to 2678 East Main Road, a bright 1790 colonial with elements of both the Georgian and Federal periods. This home has been impeccably preserved and maintained with thoughtful updates that pay homage to its rich architectural history. The first floor has a breathtaking new kitchen with custom wide plank flooring, rustic cabinetry, and a soapstone countertop and sink. Next, there is a spacious sitting room with a woodstove fireplace. Then, walk into an enormous formal dining room with a cozy wood-burning fireplace, and the recent addition of a sunroom/living room with a gas burning woodstove. A rustic half bath with a soapstone topped vanity completes the first floor. The second floor is home to a grand primary bedroom with it's own luxurious washroom equipped with a shower as well as a clawfoot soaking tub. Also on the second floor there is a large office with a view of Sakonnet River which becomes pronounced in the winter. Additionally, there are two more bedrooms and a full bathroom with a dedicated laundry space. Outside, you will find an oversized two car garage with a finished great room upstairs. All of this is situated on over 2 acres of land in close proximity to shops, restaurants, and the library. Also included is a lush, sprawling, buildable lot behind the house to build the home of your dreams!
