Originally constructed in 1954, the main residence was entirely rebuilt in 1997 and updated in 2017. This stunning waterfront estate at Smith Cove has sold for $3.95 million in Barrington, Rhode Island. Listing details: This exceptional waterfront property combines timeless elegance with privacy, set on a custom-built 4.18 acre New England estate. Newly renovated with exquisite architectural features, every element of the house and grounds will captivate you. The main residence encompasses 5,525 square feet and boasts five bedrooms and four and a half baths, including main suites on both floors. The heart of the home is its kitchen, showcasing a generous white marble island, marble-inlaid backsplash, premium appliances, and a spacious pantry.
Upon entering from the front door or the two-car attached garage, you will be welcomed by custom features including a glass-enclosed, climate-controlled wine room, a stunning grand staircase, one of the three laundry rooms on the property, and an elegant guest bath with a private office located just off the dining area. The dining space flows effortlessly from the kitchen and includes exquisite built-in cabinetry, a fireplace, and spectacular views of the wildlife, yard, and cove, making it perfect for family meals or entertaining guests. A short distance away, the spacious living room offers stunning vista views of the lawn and cove, beautiful built-in cabinetry, coffered ceilings, and a grand stone fireplace. The main level features a gorgeous main suite, complete with a marble ensuite bathroom and direct access to the garden patio. Two guest bedrooms with vaulted ceilings share a bathroom adorned with beautiful glass-inlaid tiles.
Upstairs, the great room exudes relaxed elegance, featuring a wet bar, striking vaulted ceilings with redwood beams, a marble fireplace, and an expansive covered balcony that overlooks the grounds and cove – an ideal spot for unwinding. This floor also includes the main bedroom with a large stone fireplace, a balcony with a cove view, a luxurious marble spa-style bath, and a closet room complete with chandelier, built-in shelves, a washer & dryer, and a central island. Nearby, there is another spacious bedroom and a full bath.
The detached carriage house includes three additional spacious garage spaces on the main level (bringing the total to five). Above the garage is a flexible area, perfect for an office or gym, which features a half bath. A new addition – the guest/pool house – was finished in 2020 and designed to seamlessly match the estate’s timeless beauty, creating a welcoming space for hosting or accommodating guests. This pool house includes a full kitchen, a large bathroom, a laundry room, and a lovely media room, which is great for year-round entertainment. The newly completed pool and spa from 2020 feature a spacious illuminated patio with built-in surround sound, overlooking the picturesque backyard and cove.
The property boasts every conceivable luxury: radiant heated floors, multiple zones of central air, a Sonos sound system, a cutting-edge security setup, a whole-house generator, and an irrigation system powered by a private well for outdoor watering – city water and sewer, and gas are also available. The estate features many custom-built stone walls with under-lighting as well as privacy and pet fencing throughout the grounds. Smith’s Cove is a serene and beautiful location providing ample opportunities for birdwatching, wildlife observation, kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, or mooring your boat.
