'Whimsy Cottage' is nestled in the sought after Dumplings area, and offers a rare opportunity to enjoy coastal living with flexibility for the future. Thoughtfully designed and beautifully maintained, this custom home has a 4-bedroom OWTS septic in place with 2 finished bedrooms (one main level, and one above the garage), while the other 2 bedrooms on the 2nd fl are unfinished currently. The spacious living areas embrace the natural beauty and tranquility of its island setting. The home's open and inviting layout is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, with craftsmanship and design that create a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout. The woodworking detail is second to none. The over-sized 2 bay, 4-plus car garage offers unobstructed space and high ceilings, designed to accommodate multiple vehicle lifts, boat, large storage/work area. A standout feature of this property is its remarkable expansion potential. The unfinished second-floor spaces offer the opportunity to add approximately 2,500 additional sq/ft and up to 2 beds and 1 'jack & jill' bath with media and rec rooms, and is all but finished with framing, electrical wiring, and HVAC in place, allowing the next owner to customize the home to suit their needs while significantly increasing its value. Enjoy the opportunity to join the Dumplings Association, which provides access to a private beach area. The home also has deeded access to Mackerel Cove w/ Town shops, marinas, beaches, & Newport minutes away.
