The focus of this home facing Wickford harbor is enjoying the vista of the comings and goings of the sailboats and fishing boats of the port along with family and friends. Build in the AE13 FEMA flood zone, the house is elevated to avoid flooding during storms, which allows for a garage and boat storage beneath the house.

A bank of windows above the kitchen counters orient island seating and cooking areas to the harbor overlook. The family room and kitchen are all part of the gathering space with a continuous view of the boats. Built ins, including a hidden television above the fireplace add warmth and detail to the far side, without obstructing the view.

The owners suite and bedrooms on the second floor open to the upper deck. Arched windows, custom stair railings, paneled wainscoating, built ins and beautiful window and door casings add a feeling of history to this modern shingle style home located in a historic village.
