Properties of this caliber do not wait. This is a brief window to acquire something that, if history repeats itself, will not return to the market in your lifetime. This offering represents one of the most important and authentic residential properties in RI and a rare surviving example of early American domestic architecture. Known as The Gem at Little Rest , this extraordinary home, circa 1788, has stood for more than two centuries, not preserved behind glass, but continuously lived in, cared for, and refined by generations of notable occupants. Its location alone places it in rare company. The property's comfortable walking distance to URI and just minutes from several of South Kingstown's most coveted beaches. Properties that combine academic proximity, coastal access, and historic provenance at this level are virtually unheard of. This is not a reproduction, nor an interpretation of history. It is the original. The craftsmanship, scale, and quiet confidence of the home reflect an era that modern construction cannot replicate, regardless of budget. Within its walls have lived civic leaders, educators, artisans, and reformers, each contributing to a legacy that is felt immediately upon entry. Offered at a price guaranteed to attract decisive interest, this is a true trophy property. If you value legacy over trend, authenticity over imitation, and permanence over passing fashion, this is an opportunity.
