About This Home
As of September 2025Classic Cape Cod Waterfront in Exclusive Poppasquash Point. Nestled in the heart of historic Bristol's prestigious Poppasquash Point, this classic 4-bedroom Cape Cod-style home offers timeless coastal charm on 1.68 picturesque acres. With a 172-foot dock, deep-water mooring, and sweeping views of the harbor, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy true waterfront living in one of Rhode Island's most desirable neighborhoods. The home's traditional design features warm, inviting spaces and an awning-covered back porch perfect for morning coffee or evening sunsets. A newly installed stone patio, not shown in current photographs, expands the outdoor living area and offers the ideal spot for entertaining against a serene coastal backdrop. The property was once part of a thriving orchard, and a few of the original fruit trees remain adding character, history, and a sense of tranquility to the landscape. Inside, the home is full of potential, with solid construction and a flexible layout just waiting for someone to make it their own. Tucked away in a peaceful setting yet just minutes from Bristol's vibrant waterfront, shops, restaurants, and famed Fourth of July festivities, this is a waterfront gem ready for its next chapter.
