Property Description
MISQUAMICUT BEACHFRONT !! This well-loved Misquamicut cottage situated on .42 of an acre of beachfront offers something increasingly rare---the opportunity to create your own vision at the shore. The beachfront cottage has been cherished by the same family for many years and has enjoyed a successful history as a rental . Imagine morning coffee, sunset cocktails, or casual outdoor dining after a day at the beach while overlooking the ocean, with views extending toward Block Island, Montauk and beyond. More than simply a beach house, this is an opportunity to take a cherished piece of Misquamicut and make it your own. Think of the existing cottage as a canvas not defined by what it is today, but by what it could become. Bring your vision, explore the possibilities, and create a one-of-a-kind coastal escape in one of Rhode Island's most sought-after beach locations.
