1935 Matunuck School House Rd, Wakefield, RI 02879
About this home
Located in the Ocean Ridge Civic Association (ORCA), this South Kingstown home offers a rare blend of architectural character, flexible living space, and coastal lifestyle. Originally a raised ranch, the home was thoughtfully expanded with a dramatic post-and-beam addition featuring vaulted ceilings, exposed timber framing, and an open-concept layout filled with natural light. The home includes 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and 2,154 square feet of living space. A private second-floor primary suite offers a full bath and walk-in closet. The lower-level features two additional finished rooms ideal for guest space, home office, gym, or media room, providing excellent flexibility for today's lifestyle. Just minutes from Matunuck and SK Town Beach, salt ponds, and South County recreation, this property is well suited as a year-round residence, vacation home, or second-home retreat. Conveniently located near Wakefield, Narragansett, and local dining, beaches, and outdoor amenities, this is a strong opportunity in one of South Kingstown's most desirable coastal communities. A unique offering with location, design, and versatility rarely found at this price point.
Great opportunity to own a summer or year round property near the beautiful RI coastline! Updates can be completed in phases so you can move in and enjoy immediately. Lots of potential to reconfigure floor plans for multiple uses!
