On Stonegate Road in the Touisset neighborhood of Warren is a serene and private, two-home compound comprising 2.5 acres of architectural and natural beauty with 500 feet of water frontage. 

Surrounded by the pristine waters of Mt. Hope Bay, the estate’s perfect grounds gently roll to the water’s edge and a deepwater dock. This is the setting for a most exceptional estate that has charm, character and privacy, with the luxury of 21st-century updates.

Built in 1920, the fully renovated 5,000-square-foot main house is a charming rendition of classic shingle and stone Colonial architecture and is perfect for today’s modern seaside living. With five bedrooms and four bathrooms, there is plenty of space for a growing family.

With a spacious cherry cook’s kitchen that features a fabulous butler’s pantry, custom wood flooring, granite and stainless steel appliances and a large island, entertaining is a pleasure. The kitchen opens to the dining room with French doors to the back patio and a living room with a beautiful beach stone fireplace, gleaming hardwood floors and luxury finishes.

An elegant staircase gains access to the second floor, with four bedrooms with a fifth on the third floor. The main house has central air conditioning, although the breeze from the bay cools the home in the summer perfectly. Various porches and terraces grace the house on every level for full enjoyment of the outside.

A carriage house for guests or extended family has been recently built which blends effortlessly into the property themes of waterfront grace and natural harmony. Step inside to find a huge living room with incredible soaring ceilings. Featuring a floor to ceiling stone fireplace, a full kitchen, and bathroom on the ground level.

Up a grand staircase is a large sleeping loft space with its own half bathroom. Also, on this level is a sun terrace with water views on all sides.

The estate is available for the asking price $2,195,000. For more information, contact Christine Dupuis, with Lila Delman Real Estate, at 401-626-1945.
