Peaceful, Sunny Antique Home In Central Location Close To Beaches, Shops, Biking Trail

Peaceful, ideally located vacation home near Narragansett beaches, and Block Island ferry, a very short walk from historic downtown Wakefield, and directly bordering So. County bike path. This antique home features beautiful period details and funky casual decor. Plenty of off street parking, rear patio, front porch, and outdoor shower. Within an approx. 2-4 block walk from the house, downtown Wakefield is full of shops and restaurants, one of the country's best ice cream parlors, a community theater with free summer Shakespeare on the river every Wed., and Thursday night art walks with vendor specials and live music. Other nearby activities include the town library, bowling alley, tennis courts, skate park, Whalers Brewery, Pumphouse Guitar Works and more. Park your car and walk or bike to everything you need. Decompress and breath in the slower pace of small beach town life. Sharon Cottage includes a large half bath off the kitchen/mud room with washer and dryer. Kitchen features gas range, dish washer, coffee maker, toaster oven and all your basic supplies. There is a sitting and dining area open to the kitchen - the most popular room in the house. The front parlor has a beautiful bay window and large bi-fold doors that open up to the rear parlor. Rear parlor has a twin daybed for additional sleeping and TV w/cable. Upstairs you will find a large full bath with lots of storage and tub-shower. The first of three bedrooms has two twin beds, second bedroom as an iron double bed, and third bedroom has a queen platform bed and ceiling fan. All bedrooms have window fans to circulate air and keep things cool. The outdoor shower is great for rinsing off beach sand (a must for preservation of the plumbing) or for a shower under the stars. The yard is roomy and flat for games and there is a shaded patio with table and chairs for outdoor dining. The beautiful So. County bike path runs directly behind the house, and there is a bike shop (Stedmans) from which you can rent bikes just one block from the house. Wi-fi is provided.
