About this home

Offered to the public for the first time in generations, this exceptional 5+ acre waterfront estate on coveted Rumstick Road presents a rare opportunity to own approximately 200 feet of private frontage on Smith Cove. A meandering drive leads to an elegant circular entrance, where a distinctive 4,200+sf L-shaped Cape, 3-car garage, and mature specimen trees create an unforgettable first impression. Designed to embrace its extraordinary setting, the five-bedroom, four-full-bath residence captures sweeping water views from nearly every 1st-floor room and both 2nd-floor bedrooms. A gracious foyer opens to a formal living room anchored by a striking five-foot stone fireplace and beautiful water views. A generous kitchen and dining room are thoughtfully designed for entertaining with ease, while a private first-floor primary suite and two additional en-suite bedrooms offer exceptional flexibility. A wood-paneled library with fireplace and stone-floored sunroom add warmth and character. Outside, an oversized patio overlooks the expansive, gently sloping lawn extending to the water's edge-an exceptional setting for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying the spectacular sunrises. Public water and sewer are available at the top of the driveway. No flood insurance. Pre-inspection report available. Private. Serene. Generationally held. With extraordinary acreage, amazing privacy, and approximately 200 feet of shoreline, this is a truly rare Barrington offering.
