The Harriet A. Smith House, circa 1890, is a Grand Colonial set behind stone walls on nearly an acre in Rumstick Point. The home offers 4,500+ sf of living space with 7 bedrooms, 4.1 baths, and an integral two-car garage, along with an in-ground pool, gardens, and a brick patio. The property sits minutes from Barrington Beach and town center, in a Blue Ribbon school district, with easy access to Providence, Brown, and area hospitals (50 minutes to Boston). This is a legacy estate offered for the first time in decades. The property is being sold occupied and strictly AS-IS/WHERE-IS, with no access to the interior — do not disturb occupants. Trespassing on this property is a criminal offense. Buyer agrees to accept the property as-is, including indemnifying the seller with respect to any occupancy-related title exceptions.
