Waterview Victorian on Greenwich Bay in Historic Old Buttonwoods.

Description

Professionally Restored 1895 Victorian Cottage in Private Old Buttonwoods on Greenwich Bay Step into timeless charm and modern comfort in this beautifully restored and professionally decorated circa 1895 Victorian cottage, located in the private and picturesque waterfront enclave of Old Buttonwoods. Just 10 miles from downtown Providence and close to all of Rhode Island’s premier universities and colleges—including Brown, RISD, Johnson & Wales, Providence College, Rhode Island College, the University of Rhode Island (15 miles), Bryant University (17 miles), and Salve Regina in Newport (25 miles)—this home offers both serenity and convenience. The gracious open front and side porch welcomes you into the first floor, which features a sun-filled living room with a gas fireplace, a formal dining room perfect for entertaining, and an enclosed sunporch with sweeping, unobstructed views of Greenwich Bay—ideal for a home office or writer’s retreat. The updated eat-in kitchen flows into a cozy family room, and a full bath with shower completes the first floor. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom opens to a private balcony with water views. Two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom with classic clawfoot tub and separate shower stall, and a dedicated laundry room round out the second floor. Outdoors, enjoy a beautifully landscaped yard with a brick patio, outdoor shower, and on-site parking. Old Buttonwoods is a unique and beloved community offering residents access to private grounds, scenic walking paths along the bay and through wooded areas, a beach, three tennis courts (two clay, one hard), two pickleball courts, a basketball court, and a community center known as the Casino—modeled after the Newport Tennis Hall of Fame. The original Victorian chapel still stands, adding to the timeless charm of this historic neighborhood. This home is a rare opportunity to live in a coastal haven rich in history, natural beauty, and community spirit—just minutes from everything Rhode Island has to offer.
