Beautifully renovated and thoughtfully updated, this classic 1905 coastal cottage offers 5BR/3.1+BA, 3,172 SF and harbor views from nearly every room. Gracious living and dining spaces, an inviting family room and well-appointed kitchen open naturally toward the water, while a covered screened porch sets the stage for slow summer mornings, relaxed dinners and unforgettable western sunsets. Set on .68 acres, the property includes a private dock and mooring - an increasingly scarce amenity offering immediate access to Stonington, Mystic, Fishers Island, Block Island, Long Island Sound and the Atlantic. Just moments from Watch Hill Village, beaches, Ocean House and the area's storied clubs, the property captures the relaxed sophistication that has defined this seaside enclave for generations. Ideally positioned between New York and Boston, Watch Hill is readily reached via I-95, Amtrak in Westerly and nearby jet-capable Westerly State Airport - offering uncommon accessibility without the travel friction of many East Coast resort destinations. Arrive for the weekend, step aboard from your own dock, and settle instantly into the rhythm of life by the water. 16 Water's Edge Road brings together timeless New England character, boating, privacy and effortless coastal living in one exceptional setting.
