Tucked away in beautiful Saunderstown, this captivating one-acre property is perched on the sparsely settled headwaters of the six-mile Narrow River estuary, which flows south to the open waters of Narragansett Bay. Intimate enchantment awaits as you enter through mahogany gates down a gently sloping driveway. Meander past landscaped terraces, leading to the main entrance and home's spacious center hall with pristine water views. The kitchen is stylish with east-facing water views, quartz counters, glass subway tile backsplash, top-of-the-line appliances and its own patio. The dining and living areas and 1st and 2nd floor master suites all enjoy south-facing water views that invite the tranquil surroundings inside. French doors in the dining and living rooms open to a 27 foot mahogany deck, perfect for al fresco dining. Step off the deck onto an expansive blue stone patio, then make your way down the boardwalk to your cozy beach and private dock, where spring and fall bass fishing are abundant. The separate guest quarters echoes the welcoming style of the main house. A variety of water-facing stone patio escapes, walkways and wildlife observation mingle harmoniously creating a Zen-like sense of relaxation. This private enclave, complete with boat house and lift, is full of pleasant seasonal surprises!
