Property Description
One of the most affordable opportunities on Aquidneck Island, this property offers incredible value with many major updates already completed. With the big-ticket improvements in place, the next owner can focus on adding their own cosmetic touches to truly make it their own. The updated kitchen (2018) features slate tile flooring, a marble backsplash, inset cabinetry, butcher block countertops, and stainless steel appliances blending style and functionality. The first floor also offers a spacious double parlor with hardwood flooring, along with a convenient half bath and in-unit laundry. Upstairs, you'll find a generously sized primary bedroom, a second bedroom, and a full bathroom with a tub. Significant upgrades include a two-bedroom septic system (2015), Pella replacement windows (2016), a high-efficiency tankless boiler (2017), a new roof (2017), and a 200-amp electrical service (2015) connected to the two-car garage/workshop. Set on just under an acre, the property provides ample space for expansion or the potential for an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). Ideally located near Portsmouth High School, shopping, and Route 24, this home combines convenience, value, and future potential. *Highest and Best offers due Monday 3/30 at 12pm.*
