On the Market: A Rhode Island Home with Secret Gardens

Photograph by Boston Virtual Imaging

Tucked away among the beaches and greenery of Middletown, Rhode Island’s Paradise Valley neighborhood, this shingle-style home stuns with its custom features (think: marble-clad bathrooms and red-oak flooring) and lush landscaping. Soak up views of the grounds through the wall of paneled glass windows in the living room, or relax outside on the new bluestone patio, accented by a cedar pergola. The property boasts perennial and cut-flower gardens flush with blooms such as hydrangeas, peonies, and roses, as well as vibrant magnolia trees and a tulip poplar. Need space for plants of your own? The heated English greenhouse, home to a fruit-bearing white fig tree, should do the trick.
