Wikipedia says a Quonset hut is "a lightweight prefabricated structure of corrugated galvanized steel with a semi-circular cross-section". The name comes from the installation of the first military hut at Quonset Point in Davisville, RI. In 1946, an enterprising young veteran purchased one from army surplus after WWII and made a beach house for his family that would endure for generations. Almost 80 years later, you have the opportunity to build a legacy for your family on that site. Let's be honest...this "temporary" structure has seen better days but it's still a cute little place to relax after a hard day at the beach. The town says 2 bedrooms, 1.1 baths but it lives like a 3-bedroom, 2 full bath cottage. The fully enclosed front porch serves as an additional sleeping area. Off the rear deck there are two rooms (one toilet & sink, one shower) that combine to make a full bath in addition to the full bath inside. You know what they say about location, location, location. This spot is less that 1/4 mile from the spectacular Benson Beach, an easy walk. Enjoy 7 miles of uninterrupted sand from Taylor's place in Watch Hill to the Weekapaug Breachway. Experience the waves, sun & sand or relax with a cocktail, lunch or dinner at one of the many seaside restaurants just a stroll away. As a member of the Misquamicut Fire District, you'll have access to three private beaches. Become part of a community that shares a love of the ocean.

Before the Roaring 20's, the world was a quieter, simpler place. In 2005, this vintage home was stripped to the studs and rebuilt with new electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation and more. Now everything old is new again. Now you can enjoy the charm and elegance of that bygone era, with all the conveniences of the 2020's. Spacious rooms that flow effortlessly together. High ceilings, oversized windows, covered porches, hidden staircases and built-in features. The Kitchen has been remodeled with the requisite granite and stainless to compliment it's generous size. It includes a Butcher Block Island, built-in hutch, eating area, pantry closet and its own full bath/laundry. Family & friends can gather in the large Dining Room, retire to the Family Room around the wood burning stove or retreat to the Living Room which also makes a great Office, Toy Room or Music Room with pocket doors. The second floor centerpiece is the Master Bedroom Suite with a vaulted, beamed ceiling, built-ins, walk-in closet, Full Bath (featuring a whirlpool tub AND a large shower) as well as a private covered porch. The other two bedrooms on this level are generously sized with large closets. The 3rd floor Bedroom will delight you with its angled ceilings, nooks & crannies for a most interesting space. It also has a separate room which I'm sure you'll put to good use. Updated mechanicals, double 330gal oil tanks, CAIR, CVAC and loads of other updates make this one move-in ready. Outside, the enclosed Courtyard is accessible from the wrap-around porch, the Family Room, or the kitchen. The newly built garage has room for two (or more) cars plus lots of elbow room for work or play. Above the garage a huge unfinished space awaits your creative ideas. A large, level back yard is behind the garage. Come see it today.
