"Great House"
"Where Traditions are Made
and Remembered"
Great House is an exceptional, historic
waterfront estate located on Potter Pond in South Kingstown, Rhode
Island, just minutes from the state's renowned beaches.
The estate's seven and a half acre
private setting of broad lawns, perennial gardens, cut stone walls
and sweeping southerly views of Potter Pond with 367 feet of saltwater
frontage and a 60 foot private dock, establishes Great House as
one of the area's most desirable properties. Being offered for
the first time in twenty?five years, Great House represents a
rare opportunity for new ownership.
Built
in 1740 by Captain John Potter, Great House is a wonderful example
of distinctive craftsmanship. A grand paneled central hall with
an exquisitely carved arch and staircase, wide plank floors, nine
foot ceilings, a superbly paneled living room with a built-in
shell china cabinet, twelve over twelve windows with interior
shutters, seven original fireplaces, and post and beam ceiling
bedrooms are a few of the highlights of this charming historic
residence.
Blending
old world charm with modern amenities, Great House provides the
discerning buyer a pleasant sanctuary for today's contemporary
life-style. The main residence and guesthouse have incorporated
the integrated technologies of cable ready TV services, cable
ready-multi-line phone and intercom system, and cable ready Internet
and Ethernet local area network. The main home has been professionally
updated with 200-Amp electrical service, furnace and security
system.
The
estate is well located with convenient access to centers of transportation
and major metropolitan areas. The Kingston Amtrak station and
T.F Green airport are a fifteen and a twenty-five minute drive
respectively. Providence is a half hour drive. Boston is sixty
minutes by train and ninety minutes by car. New York City is approximately
