This week on my radio show, besides talking about the latest market updates with Steve and Rich, we highlight an amazing historic property in Foster, RI. Nelson Taylor of Residential Properties describes the draw of this 1726 Cape, known as the Hopkins Tucker House.
It's not every day in Rhode Island Real Estate that you come across a home filled with quirky history and country charm. The Hopkins Tucker House, located in rural Foster, is special in this regard. Today, the existing residence is a combination of the rustic cottage built in 1726 and a 1706 stone ender which was transferred to the property. Residents in the late 1970s made this expansion in order to satisfy their space problem. The result of this decision has made 26 Tucker Hollow Road a very livable and desirable colonial home.
The Hopkins Tucker House is more than just a home, this property is its own self contained sanctuary. The screened in porch has great views of the grounds and was practically made for you to spend relaxing evenings watching the sunset. Not only is the house near the water's edge, but the pond is perfect for enjoying all of your favorite water activities such as fishing, boating and kayaking. Some of the fascinating and unique amenities that this property has to offer are the art studio/barn and Quonset Hut with a regulation squash court. These features, along with the other great perks of the Hopkins Tucker House, will no doubt make you the envy of the office. Foster is a residential and agricultural town rich in historic resources — houses, farmsteads, stone walls, winding roads and old mills — and in the natural beauty of its setting. An easy commute to Providence, Foster is the perfect local to enjoy the peacefulness of country living, without having to give up the comforts of city life.
