Residential Properties Ltd. is proud to announce the sale of 480 Gravelly Hill Road in South Kingstown, which sold for $1.2 million. RPL Broker Associate Patrick Murray represented the buyers as the selling agent in this transaction. Michael Himmel of Mott & Chace Sotheby's International Realty represented the sellers as the listing agent in the transaction. 

Surrounded by almost 35 acres of native trees in the middle of the woods and sitting a half mile off the road, this enchanting waterfront Cottage built in the 1700’s offers modern updates for gracious living. Its 4 bedrooms and 3 baths provide pleasing retreats for family or guests, while new windows, a recent roof update, new cedar shingles, updated plumbing, and a backup generator lend fresh style and peace of mind. A new cooking and dining area includes cherry wood countertops, custom-made, soft-close cabinets, integrated top-of-the-line appliances, and a cozy breakfast bar. The comfortable living room offers a wood stove insert in the stone fireplace for cooler evenings. The home’s 450-square-foot primary bedroom showcases an upper-level walkout deck to view the two-acre, spring-fed swimming pond. The property’s several outbuildings include a 1939 custom-built stone and cedar playhouse with its own wood fireplace and electricity. There is also a large, refinished horse barn/workshop/studio, another large workshop building, and a covered wood storage outbuilding. The home’s location puts it in proximity to the serenity of the Trustom Pond National Wildlife Refuge, as well as local golf courses. Residents are a short ride away from shopping, dining, and glorious beaches at Narragansett Pier and evenings out at Matunuck’s Theater-by-the-Sea.  

The selling agent, Patrick Murray, is a lifelong resident of Narragansett Pier who understands the intrinsic value of living in South County and Southern Rhode Island. A retired Merchant Marine Officer, he provides skills as an advisor, negotiator, and facilitator to help clients reach their goals. In 2021, Patrick was a recipient of RI Monthly’s Professional Excellence award for his work as a leading real estate professional.
