Designed by Jim Estes of renowned Estes Twombly + Titrington Architects, Island House is an award winning home (2020 AIA Rhode Island Honor Award Winner) and has been featured in Fine Homebuilding Magazine (“Houses by Design” (Hull’s Pond House) Dec 2021/Jan 2022).
This sleek and contemporary structure compliments the natural environment.

The space
As you enter the house, you are greeted with modern minimalism that is warm and inviting. The open floor plan brings sunlight into each room through floor to ceiling windows. The views of Island and Ocean continue on the surrounding porches and decks.

The main floor encompasses a great room for dining, cooking and living, as well as an alcove study with a built-in work desk, mudroom with cubbies, and a half bath. The chef’s kitchen includes high-end appliances with Sub-Zero fridges, Wolf oven and cooktop, Bosch dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, as well as a Weber gas grill outside. The dining room table comfortably seats eight, and the kitchen island includes four more counter stools.

The second floor includes three bedrooms. The master suite has a king size bed, an ensuite with a rain shower and curbless entry, and a wrap around balcony with 180 degree views of the Atlantic Ocean and Long Island Sound. Another bedroom has a queen size bed and west-facing and north-facing floor to ceiling windows. The third bedroom consists of a queen over a queen bunk bed and a twin over a twin bunk bed made to support adults or children, and a north-facing floor to ceiling window. A full bath with tub/shower combination sits at the end of the hallway.

The lower level has a queen size bed for extra space and flexible sleeping arrangements and an Electrolux washer & dryer set.

The house includes two zone central AC and hot air, YouTube TV and wifi.

There is a large outdoor rain shower off the east deck. On the west deck there is a dining table underneath a pergola that can seat eight and comfortable outdoor furniture for relaxing on those lazy summer days (Spring and Summer only). Ample space on the outside lawns for games and family fun including a pond for skating or fishing or kayaking. Large outdoor fire pit for those cool summer nights.

I am available to respond to your questions within the hour.

Island House is located on the second highest hill on Block Island, which allows for fantastic views from windows and the yard. It is a four minute drive to and from the ferry, a mile from the beach, a 12 minute bike ride to Mohegan Bluffs, which provide some of the most amazing views anywhere, and a 5 minute walk to the airport if you decide to fly to and from the Island.

The entire Island is accessible by biking or walking, but you can bring your car over on the ferry by making a reservation in advance. There are also taxis located at at Old Harbor or by calling to reserve.

No fires in the indoor wood-burning stove.

Where I went to school: Providence College
I’m an eighth grade math teacher and graphic designer. I love to travel and see different places and cultures. Block Island, however, is my favorite place to visit. Even though the island is only 13 miles away from mainland Rhode Island, you feel as though you have escaped to a different world. In 2020, we were able to build our dream home on Block Island and now we want to share our beautiful home on this breathtaking island with you.
