Set high above Mount Hope Bay in the desirable Common Fence Point neighborhood, this lovingly-maintained waterfront cottage offers a rare opportunity to own property on Aquidneck Island with a private dock—eliminating the need for marina fees. East-facing and filled with natural light, the home features hardwood floors throughout and a modernized kitchen with stunning views of the bay. A grandfathered-in deck extends over the water’s edge, creating a unique outdoor space to relax or entertain. The yard is easy to maintain and landscaped with mature perennials. Recent upgrades include a new roof, new heating system, updated electrical, and new fencing. The dock has been reinforced with new pilings as needed. In addition, a helical mooring is negotiable, ideal for boating enthusiasts. Located on a quiet, private street, this bright and cheerful cottage offers both privacy and access to one of New England’s most picturesque coastal areas. Whether you're looking for a year-round residence or a seasonal getaway, this property is move-in ready and offers true waterfront living. No Flood insurance required.
