Description

This center-chimney colonial estate has been a Rhode Island landmark for over 200 years. From the spacious front porch one can see gorgeous stone walls coupled with lush trees, reminiscent of one's own private park.  It's a special place to make wonderful memories, either playing in the yard, gardening, relaxing by the pool or appreciating all the fine details of a historic home.   Inside, you'll find beauty in every direction....This center-chimney colonial estate has been a Rhode Island landmark for over 200 years. From the spacious front porch one can see gorgeous stone walls coupled with lush trees, reminiscent of one's own private park.  It's a special place to make wonderful memories, either playing in the yard, gardening, relaxing by the pool or appreciating all the fine details of a historic home.   Inside, you'll find beauty in every direction. The formal dining room with fireplace overlooks the front yard and can comfortably accommodate a large dinner party. Off the dining room is a modern, large scale gourmet kitchen with dining area. And after dinner, you can retreat to either a cozy den for an evening of reading or TV,  or enjoy a glass of wine in the living room  by the fire.   Upstairs, you'll find a book lined common room with fireplace and the privacy of generous sized bedrooms. And should you have family or out of town guests, there's an attached guesthouse with a full kitchen, bathroom, living room and finished second level.   This is more than a home. It's an estate that needs to be experienced to fully appreciate its beauty.
