The Windmill House! This charming 1760 Cape Cod Style home enjoys a wonderful corner setting near Burr's Hill Park. Perched above the East Bay Bike Path, it is just up the hill from the town beach and park. While the windmill that once stood nearby is long gone, the house was relocated to this site in 1841 and remains a treasured Warren landmark. Thoughtful updates, including dormers added in 2011 and a sunroom addition completed in 2021, have enhanced the home's space and natural light while preserving its historic character. With wide-board flooring throughout, the first floor offers a circular flow from the front hall through the fireplaced living room, kitchen, dining room, study (bedroom)and continues through the sunroom and around into a den/potential first-floor bedroom, with a full bath nearby. The second floor features a spectacular primary bedroom, a second bedroom, a convenient laundry area, and a spacious full bath with a walk-in shower. The basement includes a finished home office along with storage and utility space. Professionally designed gardens create a private outdoor retreat with distinctive plantings, winding brick paths, a patio, and a garden shed. Additional improvements include solar panels, a generator, a gas-fired boiler, and mini-splits for heating and air conditioning. A true Warren gem, the Windmill House offers historic character, thoughtful modern updates, and easy living in one of Rhode Island's most artistically creative and charming coastal communities.

Beach Terrace, located between the Warren River waterfront and Kickemuit River, is a residential and coastal Warren neighborhood with salt-marsh edges and pocket beaches. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Water Street near the Warren Town Wharf, where marinas, small galleries, and sidewalk dining set a working-waterfront tone. Housing reads as classic coastal New England—compact capes, shingled cottages, and updated colonials—on quiet streets that bend toward the shoreline. The East Bay Bike Path threads nearby, linking daily routines to river views and breezy rides. Community pillars include The Square Peg, The Guild Warren, and the Warren Performing Arts Center, each adding a distinct local cadence. Sunsets and boat traffic shape the soundtrack, with public access points keeping the water close.
