The Dockside Cottage feels like a vacation every day of the year. This property is a waterfront oasis with amazing westerly views, poetic sunsets, a 74-foot dock, and two deep water moorings. Boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, swimming and simply watching the boats slowly pass by in the no-wake-zone on the Sakonnet River is magical. While the summer here is exceptional, and the outdoor space has a small grass yard, a seating area, outdoor grilling/dining area, and an outdoor shower, The Dockside was built and renovated for year-round living. The wood burning fireplace makes for an extremely cozy winter's evening. With three floors of living space, you will notice thoughtful design details and smart storage at every turn. Three bedrooms with space for a fourth, 2.5 baths, an office, a culinarian's kitchen, a sunroom, multiple nooks and gathering spaces...you will never want to leave. However, if you do decide to leave, The Dockside has a very strong short-term rental history. This is a unique, stylish and turnkey home in an authentic seaside farming community, minutes from the yacht club, fine restaurants, picturesque beaches, golf, farmstands, Tiverton Four Corners, highway access, Newport, Providence...where else would you want to live?
