This grand New England oceanfront estate was built in an era of master craftsmen. Perched high on the bluffs of Watch Hill, it commands stunning panoramic views of the ocean and coastline, from sunrise over Point Judith light to sunset over the Connecticut coast. This splendid home was originally built in 1903, and has been extensively updated, including wiring, plumbing, central air and much more. With its four levels and 20 rooms, including ten bedrooms, nine full baths and two half baths, eight fireplaces, and two fully equipped kitchens, there is ample space and privacy for hosting family and friends. A capacious screened porch, an open porch, a sunroom, an open deck, and stone patio provide abundant ways to enjoy the ocean views and sea air year-round, and are delightful spaces for seaside entertaining. Over two acres of lush green lawn and manicured grounds gently slope down to 160 feet of sandy beach front, a truly rare and exceptional setting. Swim, sun, beach comb, and enjoy the Atlantic surf on an unspoiled ocean beach.
