A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A PIECE OF LOCAL STONINGTON HISTORY ALONG THE PAWCATUCK RIVER. Built in 1864 and lovingly passed down through generations, this cherished riverfront home has been a family homestead since 1912. From the moment you arrive, the property's timeless charm & sense of place are undeniable. A pristine hedge frames the front, while a classic mix of clapboard & vinyl siding hints at the home's long life & thoughtful updates over the years. From the deck, time slips away while watching boats glide down the Pawcatuck toward Little Narragansett Bay. Enjoy ever-changing views & coastal breezes that never grow old. A private deep-water dock offers direct access to the river & beyond, making this home a boater's dream. Set out for easy day trips to Block Island, Fishers Island, or Montauk right from your own backyard. Inside, the home unfolds with a welcoming blend of gathering spaces, quiet corners & water views from nearly every room. The primary bedroom enjoys distant views of Napatree Point, while additional bedrooms overlook the river & marinas along the Avondale waterfront in Westerly, RI.

For those who appreciate history, water, & the simple beauty of life by the river, this is a property that invites you to make it your own & continue its story for generations to come. Included in the sale is an additional .33-acre parcel just across the street; a rare and valuable bonus that expands the sense of space and possibility. With an outbuilding that even predates the main home, this adds another layer to the property's remarkable story. Buyers with vision may wish to explore its potential; inquiries to the Town of Stonington will help determine the feasibility of future building or development. The parcel also borders 6 acres of protected land owned by the Avalonia Land Conservancy, ensuring that the serene, natural beauty surrounding this historic riverfront home will remain for generations to come.
