Barrington, Rhode Island · Now Reserving
On a peninsula of high ground, surrounded by tidal cove and protected wood.
A new shingle-style coastal home rising on 1.11 acres off Pine Top Road — tucked behind a wooded wetland buffer no neighbor can ever build into.
From Above
The peninsula, read from a drone.
Pine Top Road approaches from the east. The home sits on the dry upland; tidal marsh, wooded swamp, and the open water of One Hundred Acre Cove wrap the rest of the parcel.
Why this spot is one-of-one
Of the 1.11-acre parcel, roughly 0.40 acres are on-deed protected wetland — tidal salt marsh and wooded swamp that wrap the home on three sides. A 50-ft perimeter wetland buffer and a 100-ft riverbank buffer toward One Hundred Acre Cove are written into the land record. No neighbor can ever clear, fill, or build into them.
The home itself sits on the only dry upland on the lot — a small peninsula of high ground. Building there is possible because of a 2003 zoning variance recorded in Barrington Land Evidence Book 734, Page 354, which permits construction within the 100-ft wetland setback specifically on this parcel. The variance does not transfer to surrounding land. The buildable envelope, the privacy, and the west-facing view across the cove are locked in by record — not by trust in a neighbor.
The Setting
The view is the whole point.
The parcel reads like one acre on paper. In person it reads like ten — because the buildable land is a single dry peninsula floating inside a protected mosaic of tidal wetland, wooded swamp, and the cove itself.
Look south through stands of Northern White Cedar and wooded swamp and the land opens onto One Hundred Acre Cove. Crab Island sits in the middle distance; Nockum Hill closes the far shore. Filtered, seasonal water glimpses — privacy first, view second.
Site Schematic · AP 15 Lot 213 · DiPrete Engineering
South-southwest orientation across protected wooded swamp toward One Hundred Acre Cove — a tidal estuary of the Barrington River with Crab Island in the middle distance and Nockum Hill closing the far shore.
0.40 acres of on-deed wetland plus a 100-ft riverbank buffer and 50-ft perimeter wetland on three sides. No structure can ever be built into your sightline to the west.
A 2003 zoning variance — Land Evidence Book 734, Page 354 — permits construction within 100 ft of the wetland on this parcel. It cannot be replicated next door.
Sole access via a 50-ft private right-of-way ending at the home. Twenty-two Northern White Cedars planted at 10-ft centers screen the buildable envelope from the road.
The Home
Shingle-style. Built for the view.
Three stacked tiers under one symmetrical gambrel: a fieldstone-and-shingle 2-bay carriage garage at driveway grade, a full main living floor 4–5 ft above that, and a full second story tucked under the gambrel with stacked gable dormers and a copper-topped bay projection. The L-shaped entry wing juts east — covered porch, white columns, and exterior stone steps from the drive up to the front door.
- Main-floor slab 13.0 ft — built above FEMA base flood, 4–5 ft above garage grade
- Full second story under gambrel — primary suite + bedrooms, not a knee-wall attic
- Engineered white oak flooring throughout the main level
- Chef's kitchen with paneled appliances and quartzite counters
- Primary suite with spa bath and cove-facing balcony off the bay projection
- Screened porch with masonry fireplace at the rear
- Fieldstone-base 2-bay carriage garage at grade with conditioned storage
Elevations
What the footprint becomes.
Four study elevations drawn from the approved building envelope — what the home reads like from the road, the cove, the side yard, and the carriage approach.
Garage-forward view from the curving paver drive — house lifted on a 4-ft fieldstone podium, carriage doors centered, entry wing jutting east to the covered porch.
Eastern wing juts out as the formal front: covered porch, painted white columns, and the front door — set perpendicular to the garage face.
Copper-topped bay projection, upper-level primary balcony, and full-width screened porch with masonry fireplace.
Tall shingled gable with Palladian window, fieldstone chimney, screened porch tucked at the rear corner.
