About this home
Vintage seaside cottage offering a blank canvas to a creative homeowner. A rare opportunity in the Barrington Public Schools district, ranked #1 in Rhode Island.* With views of Narragansett Bay and the Conimicut Lighthouse, this Bay Spring cottage recalls the summer colonies that took shape in places like Martha's Vineyard and Jamestown in the late nineteenth century. 31 Blanding Avenue offers two bedrooms and one bath in approximately 740 square feet, with recently installed ductless mini-split heat pumps. An open plan with the bath and laundry on the main level makes for easy, efficient living. The house is close to the East Bay Bike Path, the Bay Spring Community Center, Barrington town center, shops, and commuter routes, and about twenty minutes from downtown Providence. *Ranked #1 in Rhode Island by Public School Review (2022–23 data).
