The Property

A Living Landmark, Ready for Its Next Chapter. Built circa 1788, The Gem at Little Rest is more than a historic residence—it is a rare surviving example of early American domestic architecture, carefully restored for modern living. Designated an important historic landmark, the home has undergone significant updates to electrical, plumbing, and major systems, making it truly move-in ready. Unlike historic homes preserved as static museums, this property has been continuously lived in and thoughtfully refined over generations, maintaining its original character while embracing modern comfort.

The result is authenticity without compromise. Ideally located, the home sits at a quiet crossroads of past and present—within walking distance to the University of Rhode Island and just minutes from South County beaches, offering a rare blend of academic energy, coastal access, and architectural legacy. Inside, a flexible bedroom with a private exterior entrance provides ideal space for a URI student, guest suite, or private retreat. A two-car garage further enhances versatility, featuring a heated office with sweeping lawn and woodland views and potential for conversion into an Accessory Dwelling Unit. Ideal for extended family, adult children, or rental opportunity.

A timeless home where history is not just preserved, but lived in—comfortably and with purpose.
