About This Home

Imagine starting every morning watching the sun rise over Narragansett Bay, right from the comfort of your primary suite. Located at 30 Madison Ave, this stunning, move-in-ready home offers a rare blend of elevated coastal living and effortless modern comfort. Perfectly equipped for true four-season living, this residence is designed to be cherished through every shift of the New England weather. Inside, rich mahogany floors lead you to a gourmet kitchen complete with Thomasville cabinets, new granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances—ready for everything from quick beach lunches to holiday hosting. At the heart of the home, a dramatic staircase winds around a central fireplace, guiding you to spacious third-floor accommodations for family and guests. But the real magic happens when you step outside. Enjoy more than 200 square feet of Trex decking, unwind under the pergola by the patio fireplace, or wash the salt away in the convenient outdoor shower after a day by the water. Best of all, a short, scenic walk brings you right down to the beach, making the ocean an effortless extension of your front yard. Equipped with high-efficiency mini-splits, a cozy pellet stove, and low-cost heating solutions, this home keeps you perfectly comfortable whether it's the height of summer or a snowy winter night. Your turnkey, year-round island paradise is waiting.
