Just in time for summer, welcome to your long-awaited peaceful retreat, just over a mile from Westerly beaches, as the seagull flies! This well-built, well-maintained expansive architectural ranch features 4 bdrms, 3 full baths, a partial finished LL, and rare-to-find guest wing, makes this a true multi-generational residence to enjoy for decades. Situated on 1.57 acres at the end of a cul-de-sac, on one of the town's highest points. You will immediately feel relaxed as you pull down the driveway - removed from traffic, yet close enough to hear the waves crashing on summer nights. This is ONE LEVEL living at its best, with all the extras! Shiny maple hard woods, vaulted ceiling in the oversized living/dining area, two fireplaces, library with pocket doors, tons of closets & storage, jacuzzi spa tub, huge master bdrm, and amazing natural light. The guest wing has a bdrm, living rm, galley kitchen, full bath and deck access. The LL bdrm has a full bath, cedar closets, plus two other separate areas - great for a rec room, work out space, or office. Sliders walk out to a private patio. Spacious two-tiered outdoor living includes a large upper mahogany deck and lower stone patio, overlooking the expanse of lush green mature trees. In the evenings, you'll love the clear star filled sky. The large private yard is one of the property's most important benefits, one that is rare and desirable. Walk to the ocean, bike a short 2.4-mile to Watch Hill, and drive 5 min to downtown.
