Sited on 5.6 ac. overlooking famed Cliff Walk and the Atlantic Ocean, ā€˜Landā€™s End' is located on the southeastern point of Aquidneck Island, offering total privacy to south and east. Open ocean views as far as Block Island, Marthaā€™s Vineyard and Nantucket. Enjoy breathtaking sunrises from the private master bedroom balcony, or relax on the patio and watch world class sailboats pass by. Dynamic ocean views and streaming sunlight from virtually every room providing some of the most coveted vistas on the East Coast. Designed by architect John Sturgis during Newport's Gilded Age, ā€˜Landā€™s End' has a history of notable ownership which includes Pulitzer Prize-winning author Edith Wharton.
