Enjoy coastal living in this beautiful 2-bedroom Cape cottage in Portsmouth's desirable Island Park neighborhood. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac, the home is surrounded on three sides by scenic Blue Bill Cove, with water views just steps from your front door.
Inside, you'll find a bright, thoughtfully updated interior featuring French doors and stainless steel appliances. Two spacious decks provide the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind after work while taking in the coastal scenery.
The large yard offers plenty of outdoor space for relaxing or entertaining, complete with a grill, while a public kayak launch directly across the street makes it easy to get out on the water. A washer and dryer, additional refrigerator in the basement, and off-street parking add everyday convenience.
The location offers the best of Aquidneck Island living. Walk or bike to Island Park Beach, waterfront restaurants, coffee shops, and local markets. Nearby you'll find Montaup Country Club, Safe Harbor marina facilities, and miles of shoreline ideal for kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and cycling. Downtown Newport, Bristol, and Middletown's beaches are all just a short drive away, while Route 24 is only minutes away for an easy commute to Providence or southeastern Massachusetts.
