About 1596 West Side Rd
Imagine ending each day surrounded by some of the most breathtaking sunset views on Block Island, where the sky transforms over the Atlantic and distant coastlines of Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New York fade into the horizon. Set on the Island's sought after West Side and surrounded by acres of preserved land, this extraordinary coastal retreat offers a level of privacy, peace, and natural beauty that feels worlds away. Here, life moves with the rhythm of the Island. Mornings begin with ocean air drifting through open doors and quiet walks along winding stone walls. Afternoons are spent by the pool beneath endless blue skies, while evenings invite long dinners on the Travertine patio as the sunset becomes the backdrop to every gathering. Spanning over 4,000 square feet, the home was thoughtfully designed to embrace both comfort and connection to the landscape. With five bedrooms and five and a half baths, every space feels open, light filled, and welcoming. The primary suite is its own private escape, complete with a terrace overlooking the ocean and rolling preserved land beyond. This is more than a home. It is a place to truly experience Block Island at its most beautiful and untouched. A rare West Side offering where privacy, elegance, and unforgettable views come together in a setting unlike any other on the Island.
