Quintessential charm is artfully defined with this classic Watch Hill home. This corner lot on nearly an acre has frontage on Colonel Willie’s Cove along the Pawcatuck River which leads to the Atlantic. The yard is completely fenced in for summer fun for the entire family . The Watch Hill Boat Yard and Marina is just a stroll down the street. The home has fabulous hardwoods throughout and offers plenty of seaside comfort. The main level features a charming living room and dining room with a fireplace, a kitchen and a family room which leads to a deck for summer barbeques. Plus there is a sweet screened in porch for a cup of tea in the morning or a glass of wine after a long day at the beach. The upper level has a master bedroom with a private bath and two bedrooms (and a little cubby room for extra sleeping) that share one bath. To add to the perfection, you will see how this cottage has been meticulously cared with a newly shingled exterior, new windows, new denitrification state of the art septic system, new gas insert fireplace, new marine pump and much more. Excellent rental history!
