3 Gounod Rd Westerly, RI 02891

A natural setting encircles this spacious split-level ranch style home that has a contemporary flair; a soaring wall of windows in the living room lets the sun pour in and frames views of the surrounding trees. A rambling split rail fence traces the front of the half-acre property which features decorative trees and shrubs along with a curving manicured walkway. The back porch and deck look into a dense forest grove that provides serene privacy and rustic beauty. A generous 3,300 square feet of living area encompasses three bedrooms, four bathrooms, and the flexible use spaces of a finished basement and an office. Central air keeps the interior cool in the summer heat while two gas fireplaces add a warm touch on chilly days. A four-car garage adds bonus room for bike, paddleboard and jet-ski storage. Located in the desirable Shelter Harbor Fire District, walk through quiet, tree-lined roads to private tennis courts and Grove Dock which offers moorings, kayak storage and a boat ramp. Sun bathe and swim on the sandy neighborhood beach or boat across Quonnie pond and relax on the secluded and gorgeous crescent of Weekapaug beach. Body surf in the great Atlantic or recline in a beach chair while taking in expansive views of Block Island, Watch Hill and the Charlestown breach way. Explore the nearby quaint roadside markets, coffee spots and tackle shops of South County, while “urban amenities” such as great dining, quality schools and highway access are just a few minutes away.
