Perched just 20 feet above the waves on Rhode Island’s iconic Charlestown coast, this charming beach cottage on stilts proves that small can live large. At only 900 square feet, strategic design moves—like removing interior walls and replacing two windows with expansive openings—completely transformed the footprint. Now light-drenched and breezy, the open-concept layout maximizes every inch of waterfront living. Coastal elegance meets clever space planning in this elevated retreat, where historic character blends seamlessly with modern seaside luxury.
