About this House

WATCH HILL LUXURY STYLE LIVING – ONE OF A KIND A majestic (4) bedroom, (4 1/2) bath luxury 3,547asf condominium located in the heart of the Historic Village of Watch Hill, R.I., is perhaps the largest condo offering in this exclusive community. Formerly the ballroom of the historic "Watch Hill Inn" building, (originally landmarked as the “Narraganset Inn" built in 1845), was totally reconfigured and rebranded by former New York Architect, Peter J. Catalano for his wife and well know singer, Dana Valery, who purchased the Narragansett Inn in December 1985, and in 2006 totally rebuilt and converted the building to residential units. Currently marketed as "The Admiral Suite”, the unit overlooks Little Narraganset Bay, the Connecticut coastline, and New York's Fisher Island, from its 30' wide front deck with unobstructed spectacular sunset water views. The beautifully appointed 40x30 Great Room with high ceilings is separated by two back to back gas fired fireplaces with hand carved wood paneling as a focal point surrounded by 270 degree views of the skyline and ocean. The open Viking appliance kitchen is ideal for the cuisine aficionados. An optional Rental Program offers amenities at the Ocean House Resort Hotel a Relais & Chateaux property. Included: private Ocean beach access, gym, spa, beach dining, crochet court, and much more. Car service between the sister properties, Amtrak Station, and Westerly Airport. Walk to one of the (3) beaches. Assigned parking spaces (4)

    "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."
