About This Home

As of November 2019

Award winning designer Giancarlo Valle has re-imagined this c.1903 classic shingle-style home to create a magnificent coastal escape with a modern sensibility. Resting on a bluff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, this beachfront architectural masterpiece is a prized jewel in Watch Hill, RI. Featured in Architectural Digest, this timeless treasure was designed to be a comfortable family home with a spirited edge. The sprawling interior boasts nearly 10,000 square feet and encompasses five levels of well-defined space for family and guests. A reconfigured modern layout seamlessly affords indoor/outdoor living, with distinct areas for entertaining. The estate has 160 feet of beach frontage and includes a private beach cabana. The panoramic 360 degree views of the Atlantic Ocean are simply breathtaking at every vantage point. The home offers 9 bedrooms, 5 fireplaces, 2 kitchens and an award winning library. In 2018, the library was awarded 1stdibs "50 Rooms of Distinction." The main kitchen is adorned with a La Cornue range, double wine refrigerator & three dishwashers. Located on the beachfront level, the summer kitchen is positioned off of an expansive deck overlooking the open ocean w/ a heated 15’x50' solid limestone pool. The lush plantings and beautiful landscaping were designed by acclaimed horticulturist Joseph Hillenmeyer. Located near the iconic Ocean House Resort, this majestic offering of 10 Bluff is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
