Located at the coveted eastern end of Atlantic Avenue, this is a rare opportunity to own a pondside home that has been stylishly renovated and is turnkey ready for you to enjoy. The home has a bright and open floor plan with d cor that gives the impression of being in a boutique hotel. Every room includes water views and a wrap-around deck provides ample room for outdoor dining and gathering. The stunning views of the salt pond and marshland offer a palette of natural beauty that changes throughout the year. The outdoor space includes a raised bocce court, a fire pit area and an outdoor shower. The home is fully insulated with a modern HVAC system and can be enjoyed in all seasons. A beautiful beach is accessed by a public right of way across the street and the property also includes private access to the Misquamicut Fire District Beaches. The home has a strong rental history and can be sold furnished. The Misquamicut Fire District is a family beach community nestled between the exclusive villages of Watch Hill and Weekapaug, representing one of the last great seaside values in New England.
