Walk to Downtown Westerly from This Charming Coastal Cottage with a Backyard Retreat
HIGHEST AND BEST OFFERS DUE BY NOON ON TUESDAY 7/28
Privately situated at the end of a quiet dead-end street, this charming cedar-shingled New England cottage offers the rare combination of peaceful living, timeless character, and an unbeatable location. Just a short walk to the heart of downtown Westerly and only minutes from Rhode Island's beautiful beaches, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home is the perfect year-round residence, coastal getaway, or investment opportunity.
Inside, rich hardwood floors, exposed wood beams, skylights, and abundant natural light create warm, inviting spaces filled with classic New England charm. The thoughtfully designed layout feels both cozy and open, creating a home that's equally suited for quiet evenings or gathering with family and friends.
The backyard is truly the heart of this property. Thoughtfully landscaped and surrounded by mature trees, it offers a peaceful retreat with room to garden, entertain, or simply unwind. Enjoy morning coffee on the deck overlooking the yard, spend evenings gathered around the fire pit beneath bistro lights on the custom patio, or harvest fresh vegetables from the raised garden beds. Every corner of the outdoor space invites you to slow down and enjoy the seasons.
The property also includes two versatile outbuildings—a dedicated garden/tool shed for storage, plus a second shed with electricity that's ready to become a home office, art studio, workshop, fitness space, hobby room, or whatever fits your lifestyle.
When you're ready to explore, leave the car at home and stroll into vibrant downtown Westerly, where you'll find locally owned boutiques, cafés, award-winning restaurants, breweries, the historic United Theatre, seasonal events, and the farmers market. Misquamicut Beach, Watch Hill, and some of New England's most beautiful coastline are all just minutes away.
Thoughtfully maintained with significant recent improvements—including a professionally updated electrical system with a new breaker panel and code-compliant upgrades, a newer roof, professionally sealed and waterproofed skylights, and a freshly painted interior—this home combines classic New England character with the confidence of important modern updates.
Whether you're looking for a place to call home year-round or a coastal escape close to everything, this special property offers a lifestyle that's increasingly hard to find.
