2444 Hartford, Johnston, RI, 02919

Imagine starting your morning with coffee in hand, and sunlight dancing off the surface of the water just outside your window. That's not a vacation — that's Tuesday. This charming one-bedroom, one-bath waterfront cottage on Hartford Avenue in Johnston is the kind of place people spend years looking for. Tucked back from the road and surrounded by nature, the moment you pull in you feel it — the pace slows down, the noise fades, and the only thing on the agenda is enjoying where you are. Step inside and the open-concept living and dining area instantly draws your eye straight through to the water. A large picture window frames the reservoir like a painting that changes every season — glassy and calm in the summer, dramatic and moody in the fall, quietly stunning in the winter. The fireplace anchors the living room, making it just as easy to picture a cozy January evening as a warm July afternoon. The kitchen is well-maintained and functional, blending seamlessly into the open layout so you're never cut off from the view or the conversation. Whether you're cooking for one or hosting friends for the weekend, everything flows. Outside, the private patio is made for slow mornings and long evenings. Beyond that, your dock sits right on the water — ready for kayaking, paddleboarding, or just putting your feet over the edge and doing absolutely nothing. Year-round retreat. Weekend escape. First home. Investment property. This one works for all of it.
