Nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the prestigious Prospect Farm neighborhood, this direct waterfront property offers the perfect balance of everyday comfort and extraordinary beauty. Designed for year-round living, the home features 4+ spacious bedrooms, 5 full and 2 half baths, 5,000sq ft, a private elevator, a chef’s kitchen with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and a bright, flowing layout crafted for gathering and connection. A full unfinished basement offers exceptional opportunity to create additional living or recreational space tailored to your family's needs. Wake to breathtaking sunrises, enjoy coffee on your private balconies, and end your evenings watching moonlight shimmer over the bay. With nearly 1.5 acres of gently rolling lawn, a Swim Spa overlooking the water, an infrared sauna, and a mooring already in place (dock permit in process), every day here feels like a retreat — with all the comforts of home. Solar panels and a full-house generator ensure modern efficiency and peace of mind. Steps lead down to the rocky shoreline for afternoon adventures, and the location offers easy access to Newport, Providence, and all that coastal Rhode Island has to offer. A rare offering where beauty, comfort, and lifestyle come together — Coastal luxury you’ll live in, love in, and grow in.
