About This Home

As of October 2020

Bancroft on the Bluffs c. 1895 is a shingle style, oceanfront mansion designed and built by William Ralph Emerson for John Chandler Bancroft on one of the most scenic spots in all of RI. Completely restored and renovated in 2006, the historic manse overlooks a turn of the century Chinese garden punctuated by rocky outcroppings and large expanses of lawn. Dramatic cliffs of native puddingstone descend to the water via an inviting, walkable path. Inside, walls of windows and French doors take full advantage of unparalleled southeasterly views of the rocky coastline, open Atlantic, Sakonnet Light and Sachuest Point. The main living area is open and airy with marquetry ceiling detail, built in cabinetry and custom window seating. There are 2 ensuite bedrooms, a waterside balcony, gas fireplace, a den with pocket doors and beautifully appointed kitchen. You're going to like it here!
