Description

Spend your vacation in a meticulously renovated former library. Built in 1938, the Essex Memorial Library served the Tiverton community until 2017. All the charm and elegance of the original built-in bookcases, high ceilings, hardwood floors, wide trim, and original windows set the stage for a step back in time. This stone building offers two generous en-suite bedrooms plus another full bath on the lower level. The main room features a vaulted ceiling and west facing floor-to-ceiling windows with views to the Sakonnet River, Mount Hope Bridge, and magnificent sunsets. The open floor plan of the main room includes a well-appointed kitchen, gracious living and dining areas, and a game table. Grand French doors open to a private back terrace with a chiminea. The stairwell to the lower level, animated by a whimsical, ceramic mural made by area children in 1993, leads to a spacious family room. Here are children's books and toys, a large screen TV, and plenty of room for fun and games. Additional amenities include central air, Wi-Fi, laundry, and ample parking. Grinnell's Beach and the stores, cafes and restaurants of the Stone Bridge neighborhood are all within walking distance. Newport and Bristol are each a short drive away. The Essex Library presents a rare opportunity to experience old school grace in contemporary comfort. June $9000 July and August $10000 September $9000
