A contemporary cottage situated on Atlantic Avenue in Westerly, Rhode Island, has been listed for $1.78 million. The property offers proximity to both Misquamicut State Beach—Rhode Island’s most frequented public beach—and Winnapaug Pond, a 476-acre salt pond favored for recreational activities such as sailing and kayaking.
Built in 1987, the 2,724-square-foot residence features three bedrooms and three full bathrooms. The home is arranged across multiple floors, beginning with a recreation room on the ground level that opens onto a 359-square-foot deck facing the pond. This level also includes two additional rooms with pond views, storage spaces, and a full bath. An attached single-car garage and a 158-square-foot patio are accessible from the horseshoe-shaped driveway at the front of the house.
The main living area is located on the second floor and features an open floor plan integrating the kitchen, dining, and living spaces. The recently updated kitchen, renovated in 2024, is equipped with a six-burner gas stove, an oversized stainless steel refrigerator, shaker-style white cabinetry, and Fantasy Brown leathered granite countertops. An eight-foot island provides seating for four and overlooks sliders leading to a 393-square-foot deck. The living room is illuminated by skylights and a large ceiling fan assists with climate control. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area measures 123 square feet and receives natural light through a large glass window.
The third floor contains the primary bedroom suite, measuring approximately 230 square feet with hardwood floors, dual closets, and a private 67-square-foot balcony overlooking Winnapaug Pond. This level also includes a family room, a storage room, and a full bathroom that incorporates laundry facilities and features a unique vanity equipped with a minifridge.
Additional outdoor amenities include a 210-square-foot rooftop deck providing expansive views of both the beach across Atlantic Avenue and the pond at the rear. From the property, residents can launch kayaks directly into the pond and paddle to the nearby breachway that connects to the Atlantic Ocean.
According to the listing agent, Lori Joyal of Lila Delman/Compass’s Watch Hill office, the home has been rented at rates up to $9,000 per week. Flood insurance coverage for $250,000 currently costs $1,609 annually. The property benefits from access to three beaches managed by the Misquamicut Fire District. Public water and sewer services are connected, and the 2025 property tax bill is estimated at $11,125.
