Welcome to your new home at 56 Lawton Ave, nestled in the center of Tiverton's charming Stone Bridge neighborhood. This well-maintained and updated home is mere steps away from the waterfront with marinas, a beach, restaurants, shops, and open space recreation areas all within easy walking distance. And you're just 3 minutes from highway access for convenient travel. This 1890 home blends well preserved historic character with modern conveniences and an open, flexible layout that lends itself to many uses. Enter from the water view front porch to a formal sitting room which flows into an open family room with cozy gas fireplace and chef's kitchen. The beautiful kitchen features custom inset cabinetry and honed granite counters as well as a handy pantry. The back hall offers easy access to a shady patio garden area from which to enjoy the nearly half acre of lush grounds. A full bathroom and bedroom complete the first floor. The period front staircase leads to the primary suite which encompasses the second floor. The sunny primary bedroom offers plenty of closet space and a modern adjacent full bathroom including washer and dryer. The third floor offers another ensuite bedroom with adjacent office or seating area. The icing on the cake is the legal one bedroom apartment in a portion of the second floor, accessed by its own exterior, private entry. The apartment is configured such that it could easily be incorporated back into the second floor for additional living space.
