“I was privileged to have the opportunity to sell ‘Wishing Rocks’, a beautiful and much beloved Jim Estes designed home, sited on 3.5 acres with stunning views overlooking Narragansett Bay and southwest towards the open ocean,” said Cresser. “It was a pleasure to work with the original owners and to connect them to buyers who fell in love with the views, superior craftsmanship, and architecture of the home.”

‘Wishing Rocks’, a waterfront home privately sited off of Beavertail Rd., offers 180 feet of water frontage. This four bedroom, three and one half bath home has won awards and has been featured in several design publications.
