Presenting Bristol's treasured and architecturally significant Herreshoff designed estate on 1.8 acres of beautiful west facing waterfront on Walker's Cove. Designed by Norman Herreshoff in 1937, "Ferryboat" is one of the first Bauhaus inspired residences built in New England. Sited on 1.8 private acres of lush lawn and specimen trees, this iconic property is designed to capture expansive views of Narragansett Bay, Bristol Harbor and the private Walker's Island, which acts as a natural buffer. The simple Bauhaus style features clean architectural lines, generous glass walls and thoughtful spaces, creating a seamless synthesis of indoor and outdoor living. Generous decks on each side of the second level bedroom suites are a delightful surprise. A thorough renovation by its current owners was completed in 2018, and features state of the art, efficient upgrades including new windows, a spacious garage wired for an electric car charger, an automatic standby generator, new HVAC, and much more. Custom mahogany and cherry were used throughout, honoring the Herreshoff legacy. Patios were improved to include an outdoor kitchen to serve the comfortable outdoor living space. The expansive lawn is framed by a collection of exquisite mature specimen trees which enhance the beautiful view and provide outstanding privacy. This magical property includes a private dock and mooring for your yachting enjoyment. Minutes to Newport, with easy highway access. Rare offering.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
