Property Description
DESIRABLE SOUTH PORTSMOUTH LOCATION! Nestled on a dead end street just off Wapping Road and a stone's throw from the Sakonnet Greenway Trail, Rocky Brook Orchard and Greenvale Vineyard, 70 Carter Drive is a solid 3-bedroom ranch style home. Sited on a half-acre flat lot, and the possibilities here are endless. With a large 2-car garage, a 3-season sunroom and hardwoods throughout the main house, you could work with the existing layout or go in a totally new direction with this home. Sunlight washes over this south-facing property dotted with mature trees and plantings. The beauty of this home lies in both the possibilities and the location. From 70 Carter Drive, you never need to get on a East or West Main Road to access Portsmouth and Middletown's beaches (Sandy Point, just to the north and Second and Third Beach to the south) or to get to downtown Newport. Don't miss out on this opportunity!
