This charming Cape-style home sits on an acre near the Commons. Step into the sun-filled mudroom with teak tile floor and a garden window, leading into the home. A short hall past a bathroom with an accessible shower enters a bright living room and desirable first-floor bedroom. Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms and a marble-tiled bath with stained-glass transom and deep Kohler VibrAcoustic® tub with music and mood lighting. Enjoy sunrise through the bow window and moonlight from the skylight. The property includes a renovated 1800s corncrib/barn with historic wood floors and antique parlor stove for cozy winter evenings. The barn with its attached covered flagstone patio and parking area for one car can be used as a remote office. Walking to the rear of the property reveals a secluded wooded enclosure surrounded by stonewalls and thick native growth where boulders under a Princeton elm invite contemplative meditation and birdwatching. Relatively new septic, roof, oil furnace, plus two water wells make for comfort. The proximity to beaches and Sakonnet Point provides year-round pleasure. The property offers timeless New England character and charm in one of Rhode Island’s most desirable seaside communities. Buyer to pay the LC Agricultural Conservancy Tax at closing.....
