Nestled on the Tiverton shore overlooking Mount Hope Bay is a luxury townhouse for those 55 and older. The Villages on Mount Hope Bay have been a popular choice for buyers looking to downsize when the children are grown.

This Newport model unit has expansive water views of the bay, and is quite large, with more than 2,400 square feet of living space. There is plenty of room for guests, with a second-floor master suite.

Bright and open, the home at 59 Waters Edge #16, has two bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms. The large kitchen has stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, and the whole ares flows into a living area with cathedral ceilings and a marble fireplace. A deck offering water views can be accessed from twin sliders off the eat-in kitchen and living room.

The first floor also includes a master suite with a glass-enclosed walk-in shower, a formal dining room, den and laundry room.

The second level has an additional suite, plus a family room, perfect for family or guests to have their own space.

A front porch adds to the outdoor living space, which includes a two-car garage. Outdoor maintenance is included in association dues, so there's no lawn lowing or snow shoveling. The home features central air conditioning and a central vacuum, gas heat and hardwood floors. There is a full walk-out basement that could be finished for additional living area.

The Villages offer a fitness center, tennis courts, and in-ground pool, nature trails and ponds. The clubhouse is available for private parties.

The home is available for the asking price of $639,000. For more information or to schedule a viewing, contact Barbara Hanaway with Century 21 Topsail Realty at 508-776-8773.
