Coastal Garden Retreat

Beautifully fully renovated 2bd/2ba coastal cottage in a private estate community. Open after a couple of years off the market. Extensive landscaped grounds backing up to 50 acre Audubon preserve with woods, salt marshes, walking trails, abundant wildlife and the tidal Sakonnet River. Great for walks including access to the private neighborhood beach. Wide ocean front beaches of Little Compton, Horseneck and Newport within easy reach. Multiple outdoor dining, reading and chill out areas. Hand built stone walls enclose beautiful open yard with peach and pear trees, blueberry bushes and perennial plantings. Formal Garden leads to umbrella covered seating and dining and outdoor propane grill. The grounds are a relaxing retreat into themselves. Inside, the gourmet kitchen has seating for 6. Custom cabinetry, exposed beams, and warm tones are just part of charming details throughout the house. The wood burning stove is handy for winter and a wall mounted electric fireplace in the living room adds a glow all year. The entry sunroom overlooks the garden and gorgeous sunsets over the river. Upstairs, the primary bedroom has a king bed and large spa en suite with soaker tub. Across the hall the guest bedroom has a queen size bed with a desk/study area, collection of art and design books and more custom cabinetry. Its a 5 minute drive to the historic district of Tiverton Four Corners with galleries, dining and shops. Gray's Homemade Ice Cream is a daily treat and coffee and pastry at Groundswell is outstanding. Fogland Beach is 10 minutes away and a favorite with wind surfers. A short drive takes you to the beautiful ocean coastline, vineyards and farmstands of Little Compton or the mansions and lively harbor of Newport. Historic Bristol is also just across the Mount Hope bridge with great dining, shops and a small town Americana vibe. I love this house and area and have invested time and energy to making it an idyllic get away. Happy to share it with others who appreciate how a seaside and country retreat makes life a little sweeter.
