Discover coastal living in this well-maintained modern Colonial in South Kingstown's quiet Ocean Ridge-Green Hill beach area. Just minutes from miles of saltwater beaches, the home includes deeded rights to the Ocean Ridge Beach Club on Green Hill Pond. Built by the current owner in 2003 and thoughtfully cared for and improved over the years, 282 Balsam is set on a peaceful cul-de-sac, away from heavy beach traffic and noise, yet only half a mile from Route 1. The inviting interior features added hardwood floors, central air, central vacuum, oil heat, a backup propane generator, and two large propane tanks. Updated Andersen windows come with lifetime guarantees. The spacious living room features a gas fireplace, with a separate dining room nearby. The large eat-in kitchen offers generous counter space, lower cabinets with convenient pull-out shelves, and an oversized storage closet for bulky items and overflow. A half bath is located off the central hallway. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including a primary suite with its own bath, plus a full hallway bath serving the other two bedrooms. The heated and air-conditioned basement has finished walls and ceilings, tile flooring, and a half bath-ideal for a home office, family room, or flexible-use space. Outside, a large deck with a wood-look finish overlooks a spacious fenced backyard. Bring your kayaks and small boats-and enjoy all this coastal community has to offer!
