The Charm of a Cape

The Cape Cod style house is one of the most recognized and beloved architectural designs in America. When British colonists traveled to the "New World," they brought a housing style so practical that it endured through the ages. The modern day Cape houses you see in nearly every part of North America are modeled after the rugged architecture of colonial New England. Cape’s usually have a warm and cozy feel and make a perfect home for any stage of life.

Today I am featuring a debut Cape home just listed at 2781 Harkney Hill Road in Coventry. Rustic Country Charm best describes this waterfront, classic New England Cape Cod surrounded by 29 acres of preserved privacy, fresh air, and outdoor magic. As you wind down the private driveway through the gates you will come upon this impeccably maintained family homestead of nearly 4,000 sq. ft. complete with 4 bed/5 baths, and a separate in-law suite perfect for multigenerational living.

This homey gem is flooded with natural light beaming in through the kitchen and dining room and the open floor plan on the main level opens onto an oversized deck for more indoor/outdoor entertaining and star-gazing. It provides the live-work-learn-play balance you are seeking with only 30 minutes to Providence, 1 hour to Boston, and 3 hours to New York City.

The home sits majestically over its backyard oasis, complete with a tennis/basketball court and your own path to one of RI’s cleanest ponds. Enjoy hiking, kayaking, canoeing, bass fishing, swimming and sailing, gardening, nearby golf or just an old fashioned backyard barbeque on the oversized patio complete with tiki bar and outside audio speakers. Jump on the 12-mile bike trail or canoe over to the local YMCA camp for more summer fun. Your private oasis awaits!
