23 Hanson Rd, Barrington, RI 02806

Who needs waterfront when a slice of heaven will do? This much-loved, one-owner, 3-bedroom, 1 and 1/2 bath expanded cape is only steps from a private association dock, with direct access to Hundred Acre Cove. Nestled in one of Barrington's most charming seaside neighborhoods, high on a bluff (no flood insurance needed), near the end of a peaceful dead-end street, on an oversized 18,698 SF lot, this is one sweet spot to call home. First floor beckons with entertaining possibilities (sunny, spacious family room with a cathedral ceiling, beautifully proportioned living room with an expansive bay window, formal dining room, as well as an enclosed porch addition). Along with a full complement of appliances, its kitchen boasts a remarkable feature that few homes have--a wood-burning fireplace. 864-SF basement with bulkhead creates possibilities for additional living space. Recent updates include a newer roof and new furnace. Deep two-car garage accommodates more than just vehicles. Whether you might like to kayak on Hundred Acre Cove, admire the sunsets and sweeping view from the association's dock, or enjoy the privacy of a park-like backyard, the closer you look at this house--inside or out--the more special it becomes. It's easy to see why its only owner has been reluctant to leave for 50+ years.
