WATERFRONT WITH DOCK AND MOORING. Classic cedar shingle home on the Pawcatuck river, gateway to the sound and ocean, presents a rare chance to take advantage of the vibrant local communities and waterfront ambiance. Minutes from downtown Westerly and Stonington Village, and in between NYC (2.5hrs) and Boston (1.5hrs,) this attractive residence offers a riverside lot with a dock providing easy access to Watch Hill beaches, Sandy Point and the open ocean. With commanding, peaceful views over the river and marshes from the ample front porch, this home makes a welcome refuge. The sturdy, well built residence has an open living/dining situation on the first floor and 3 generous bedrooms on the second floor with many of the rooms taking full advantage of the views. A large, remodeled kitchen includes its own dining area as well. One may have the feeling that they've seen this house before, which is quite possible as it was featured in the 1988 film, Mystic Pizza, where it served as the home of Julia Roberts' character. (since remodeled!) Steeped in local history, New England charm and with enviable water access, this residence gives the opportunity for a desirable lifestyle at the perfect intersection of activity and serenity.
