Why I Chose Jamestown

I absolutely love this house. Every time I pull into the driveway I feel like I have arrived in paradise. Island life is simple and Jamestown is one of the most beautiful towns going. It is a very community oriented, "Mayberry" type of hometown with farms, rocky coves, marshland, and a spectacular peninsula that hosts the lighthouse at Beavertail State Park.

The Unique Benefits of this Cottage

Built in 1910, this small cottage is tucked inside a secret garden. The private porch overlooks a yard full of wildflowers, roses, flowering trees and herb gardens. It is the kind of home where you can sit all day and watch a robin build a nest.

You can walk everywhere - the village, the harbor, the golf course, the bird sanctuary, restaurants and amenities... yet the cottage is on a completely quiet and tranquil street. The perfect place to get away from it all.
