Extensively renovated home on 1.7 private acres tucked at the end of a long private driveway in Warwick's desirable Cowesett area, offering the perfect blend of privacy, space, and upscale finishes in one of Rhode Island's most sought-after communities. Thoughtfully designed across three levels, the main level features a welcoming foyer and oversized living room with vaulted ceilings. The dining area includes a board and batten accent wall and French doors to a large deck, complemented by a stunning new gourmet kitchen with granite countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, microwave drawer, and breakfast area. The primary suite offers a walk-in closet and spa-like bath with whirlpool tub, double vanity, and walk-in shower, with two additional oversized bedrooms and a full bath completing the upper level. The lower level features a family room with wood-burning fireplace, beamed ceilings, walkout to backyard, office or potential fourth bedroom, third full bath, and workshop. Unfinished basement offers storage, home gym with equipment included, or expansion potential. The 3-car garage with two hydraulic lifts holds up to 5 vehicles, a rare find for collectors. New roof, tankless water heater, whole-home generator, new flooring, fresh paint, updated fixtures, and skylights throughout. This peaceful, wooded retreat feels like a getaway while remaining minutes from interstates, Route 2, TF Green Airport, and East Greenwich's Main Street, marinas, and shopping.
Cowesett, located between Greenwich Bay and the Route 2 commercial corridor, is a coastal and residential Warwick neighborhood with winding, tree-lined streets and salt-air views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Cowesett Corners area near Post Road and Cowesett Avenue, where local eateries, small shops, and everyday errands cluster in a low-key strip. Mid-century ranches and classic Colonials sit alongside newer builds, with pockets of stone walls and mature landscaping. Marinas and shoreline roads shape daily rhythms, from boat traffic to sunset walks. The Warwick Country Club and the historic Clouds Hill Victorian House Museum add a distinctly local sense of place.
