GET THE LATEST BREAKING NEWS HERE -- SIGN UP FOR GOLOCAL FREE DAILY EBLASTMorgan, wrote, "The kitchen and dining area is beneath the sleeping loft, while the two-story-high living room looks out on an abundance of nature: mature holly trees, visits from wild turkeys and foxes, and a pond that provides a "bullfrog symphony" from May to October. The views of the woods, plus light playing on the large expanses of blank walls, provide the primary decoration."
"The minimalist aesthetic and the inexpensive yet rock-solid construction, as well as the closeness to nature, make this a special house. Rob Yaffe calls it 'magical.' It reveals another dimension to the usual clichés about the town. Rather than following the country gentleman style of the long-time gentry or the elaborate beach houses that follow new money, 6 Long Highway reinforces strong traditions of Little Compton. It offers a nod to its modest Quaker roots and agricultural utility, as well as being an inspired work of contemporary architectural design," he added.
The three-bedroom and two-bath home is well priced at $879,900.
