While Newport seems to for- ever shine in the high-end real estate spotlight, Narragansett quietly goes about its business as one of the most spectacular places to live on the East Coast. In particular, this romantic four-bedroom, three-bathroom Ocean Road estate calls to mind ancient English architecture with its stone masonry arch, 30-foot turret, and decorative wrought iron gates, as well as romantic interior design details such as oak panel doors that
open to a spacious living hall with an inglenook fireplace and a master bedroom suite with its own fireplace. The lowest level of the house also features a charming in-law or au pair apartment with a full bath and kitchenette. The 3,700-square- foot home sits on 3.5 acres high on a granite outcropping overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The sprawling lawn with its ten- nis court and spectacular views sets the scene for warm weather galas or large family outings.
