Description:

This is the quintessential turn of the century Charles Bevins designed summer cottage. Situated above the Dumplings (the south eastern area of Jamestown), this shingled classic offers eastern views of House on the Rocks and across the Bay to Newports harborfront.
Beautifully landscaped with English gardens and lily pond, a cobblestone lined drive leads to the front porch entry Inclusive are distinctly detailed wooden doors, wainscoting and inlaid floors. The entry hall displays a fieldstone fireplace with an undocumented self portrait of William Trost Richards. The main staircase also offers great detail with stained glass window accents.
The eastern facade has a deep porch with shingled arch supports. The formal living room includes a brick fireplace with tile inserts and comfortable seated alcove, also an entranceway leading out to the porch. The formal dining room includes wonderful detailing, a brick fireplace and a built in sideboard and porch access also.
There are six fireplaces in all, many bedrooms, a master bedroom suite with a sitting room, fireplace and his and her bathrooms. The second floor office/study leads out to a balcony with unobstructed bay views. A separate guist bedroom was added over the garage in 1994. Most of the original design is still intact. This is an exceptional property.
Jamestown, also known as Conanciut Island, is a bridge from the mainland, and a bridge (only minutes) to Newport. By car it is thirty-five minutes to Providence, an hour and a quarter to Boston and three and a half hours to New York. It quietly boasts a quality of life seldom found elsewhere.
