Riverside is the setting for an adorable cottage with spectacular water views and beach access. Move right in and enjoy western sunsets that will take your breath away.

Built in 1910, the current owners bought the home at 55 White Ave. in East Providence 10 years ago, and took the entire structure down tot he studs. It has been completely updated with new heat, electricity and windows, and it was recently painted inside and out.

With two bedrooms and one full bathroom, the home is a great property for a summer getaway, for empty nesters looking to downsize, or as an affordable year-round home.

Custom touches include pine floors from a barn in North Kingstown on the first floor, and bamboo flooring on the upper level. The open floor plan has an easy flow, with the focus on the water view. A sun-drenched Florida room opens to a lovely patio and a quintessential pciket fence with access to the waterfront and a sandy beach. You can moor your boat right outside your back door.

Though it's close to the water, the property does not require flood insurance. The home is just minutes from Providence and within walking distance to shops and the historic Crescent Park Looff Carousel.

The home is available for the asking price of $289,000. For more information, contact Joan Crocker with Residential Properties at 401-573-7576.
