Description

Discover "The School House," a truly iconic piece of Watch Hill history. The essence of Watch Hill living is captured in "The School House," a historic cottage that began its life in 1852 as a schoolhouse for local farm children. After serving as Miss Stevenson's Little Shop for over three decades, the home was later transformed into a private residence. Inside, the home's history is beautifully preserved with a vaulted ceiling and hand-hewn beams exposed during its 2013 renovation. The open-concept layout creates an airy space, connecting the living room, full kitchen, and dining area, all with fantastic water views. Balcony doors open to a private porch, while a lovely landscaped side yard provides a serene spot for a drink or al fresco dining with views of the beach and ocean. This charming icon is part of the esteemed Ocean House Cottage rental program and was even recognized by Architectural Digest as one of 15 incredible former schoolhouses you can spend the night in. Its as if you are in your own private hotel suite! Sheer perfection

    "Great place to live, I would recommend doing some research and driving around to find the best area suitable for kids. But all in all it’s a great town with close proximity to the beaches and plenty to do. "

  • Stuart Whitcomb
    "There are many outdoor opportunities nearby, like short hikes; activities through our beautiful library and in the adjoining park; and of course the ocean is a short drive from downtown. For older children there are many summer job opportunities nearby, and the downtown is safe and offers a few good options for window shopping and coffee drinks."
