Charming waterfront Nantucket-style cottage! Westward facing, during summer the property is blessed with truly spectacular sunsets. These can be admired (along with the sweeping water views) from a large brick patio, sizable deck, or the fragrant tranquility of a “secret garden”; dotted with lavender, herbs, and wild hydrangeas. Features include 2 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, a private, recently renovated electric lift dock and mooring, a a state-of-the art Caldera Aventine hot tub, beautiful chef’s kitchen with soapstone countertops, top-of-the-line inset cabinetry, a Thermidor professional oven and a Subzero fridge and freezer, gleaming mahogany floors throughout, and a light-drenched sunroom with panoramic views across the water and over to the majestic Mount Hope Bay Bridge. Basement is suitable for storage, equipped with three brand new sump-pumps, a washing machine and dryer. The location is ideal—only 20 minutes from the mansions, beaches and winding colonial streets of Newport, and a 10 minute drive from the rolling fields and fresh produce stands and vineyards of Little Compton. Half an hour from downtown Providence, an hour from Logan International, and only 70 minutes from Boston. Turnkey property and rare investment opportunity with immense year-round rental potential! Property is not currently hooked up to sewer & will be subject to a future assessment.
