About this home

Welcome to Sakonnet Shores. Designed by acclaimed architect Daniel Paquette, this high-performance coastal home blends timeless post-and-beam craftsmanship with modern flair. Situated on a serene private road with deeded waterfront access, the property features two private mooring ball rights, direct beach access for swimming, fishing, and clamming, and water views from nearly every room. Inside, hand-cut red oak posts with pegged joinery frame wide-plank antique and heart pine floors, while structural insulated panel (SIP) construction ensures exceptional durability. Freshly restained with trim in classic Newport Green, the home is a quintessential reflection of coastal living. Designed for effortless main-level living and entertaining, the layout features a primary suite with a spa bath and outdoor shower, two cozy fireplaces, and a chef’s kitchen equipped with dual dishwashers, soapstone counter seating for 12, and a pass-through pantry. The expansive lower level boasts a gym, sauna, and steam shower. Outside, the 1.68-acre grounds offer lush landscaping, heritage fruit trees, and a babbling stream—while integrated solar panels and passive solar design significantly reduce utility costs and generate monthly income. A rare coastal retreat.
