Property Description
Ask anyone who lives by the ocean and they'll tell you "Life's a Beach"! If you're ready to live the Salt Life with your toes in the sand, the smell of salt in the air, the rhythmic sounds of breaking waves and ocean breezes, your time has arrived. This modern home has been beautifully updated and meticulously maintained. With three bedrooms and two full baths plus an outdoor shower, it offers all the amenities you need. The open floor plan ensures that everyone is part of the fun. It centers on a rustic stone fireplace to take the chill off the autumn evenings. The kitchen features custom cabinetry, granite counters and stainless appliances. An expansive wrap-around deck encourages outdoor entertaining and summer fun. It's just a few minute walk to the Lawton Beach, part of the private Misquamicut Fire District. There you'll enjoy the exclusive well-maintained beach with lifeguards, bath house, showers and views spanning from Block Island to Montauk Point. Love long walks on the beach? Who doesn't! You're right in the middle of one of the most beautiful, unobstructed 5+ mile stretches of sandy beach in RI. Walk to Taylor's place in Watch Hill to the west or the Weekapaug Breachway to the east. Explore the variety of oceanside dining & shopping venues you can get to without picking up your keys. Some are even "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Problem". This idyllic beach house is ready for you to enjoy this summer, if you move quickly. It won't be around for long.
