231 Carnegie Harbor Drive, Portsmouth, RI 02871

Set behind the gates of one of Narragansett Bay's most tightly held communities, this recently remodeled residence offers something the neighborhood almost never releases: the chance to assemble a private compound. The home has been comprehensively modernized-turnkey and finished to a standard the original architecture always imagined-while the adjoining, beautifully landscaped lot sits with its building envelope open.

It is the only buildable lot remaining in the community, confirmed and unlikely to change; the few other lots are held by long-tenured owners with no intention of selling. The residence sits just back from the water, capturing the full sweep of the Bay and its evening light while sheltered from storm exposure and shoreline erosion that come with a true waterfront parcel-the view, without the vulnerability.

For a buyer who wants the scenery and the security both, it may be the smartest seat in the community. Life here is measured in minutes. The Aquidneck marina is two minutes one way; the Aquidneck Club golf course two minutes the other; Newport just beyond. Behind the gate, a rhythm of water, links, and long-standing neighbors unfolds at an unhurried pace. Homes here rarely trade-rarer still with a companion lot, protected views, and the finishes already done. Adjacent lot can be purchased as a package. MLS 1417838
