Set on the storied site of the former Buttonwoods Hotel (circa 1872–1910), this custom coastal residence blends modern luxury and refinement with the charm of a historic seaside resort community. Once a retreat for guests seeking an escape from crowded beaches, Buttonwoods remains a vibrant year-round haven where memories are made, with 2 white sandy beaches, tennis, pickleball, playground, chapel, and a historic Casino/social hall with stage and duckpin bowling. Overlooking Buttonwoods Cove with sweeping vistas to Narragansett Bay, the home offers DuChâteau flooring, a chef’s kitchen with custom cabinetry, stone counters, Dacor appliances, butler’s pantry, and wet bar with wine fridge. Fireplaced living and dining areas open to the view. Upstairs, 3 en suites include a junior suite with balcony and a luxe primary retreat with spa-like bath and bonus room, plus a top-floor office. Walkout lower level with bath, laundry, pool access, and outfitted for a future kitchen. Elevator-ready, with private pool, direct water access, and just 4 miles to TF Green & MBTA — ideal for Boston commuters or travelers who can land and be home in minutes.
