In a market where homes with land and room to grow are becoming increasingly difficult to find, 8 Wabasso Terrace in Middletown stands out as one of the most compelling value opportunities currently available on Aquidneck Island.
Lovingly maintained by the same family for more than five decades, this well-cared-for ranch offers the increasingly rare combination of single-level living, substantial square footage, and a generous lot size, all within minutes of Newport, local beaches, shopping, restaurants, and everyday conveniences.
Offering more than 1,900 square feet of living space, the home is thoughtfully laid out for both everyday living and entertaining. A sprawling living room anchored by a double-sided fireplace serves as the heart of the home, connecting seamlessly to a formal dining room and family room with direct access to the backyard. The updated kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, double ovens, and a breakfast counter that creates a natural gathering space for family and friends.
The floor plan includes three bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, and a dedicated laundry room, providing the convenience and functionality that today’s buyers are seeking. An attached two-car garage and expansive basement offer abundant storage, workshop space, and future possibilities for the next owner.
Additional features include hardwood floors, central air conditioning, a Generac generator, 200-amp electrical service, and a roof that is just five years old.
Situated on more than half an acre at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the property’s fenced backyard provides ample space for outdoor entertaining, gardening, recreation, pets, or future enhancements such as a patio or pool. The setting offers a sense of privacy while remaining conveniently located near Middletown High School, Newport Vineyards, the Navy base, and downtown Newport.
While the home is move-in ready today, it also presents a unique opportunity for buyers looking to invest in a property over time. With strong fundamentals, excellent square footage, and a desirable lot, future cosmetic improvements could unlock significant additional value.
“This is one of the most compelling opportunities currently available to purchase a home that you can comfortably move into today, enjoy immediately, and continue investing in over time,” said listing agent Tyler Bernadyn of REMAX Results. “I actually told Bethany that we might have to buy this home for our own family! With plenty of living space and over a half acre of land, buyers are getting a combination of size, location, and long-term potential that is becoming increasingly difficult to find on Aquidneck Island.”
As inventory remains limited across Newport County, properties that offer both immediate livability and future upside continue to attract significant attention. For buyers looking for an Aquidneck Island home with strong bones, pride of ownership, and room to create equity through thoughtful updates in a communal neighborhood, 8 Wabasso Terrace deserves a closer look.For more information or to schedule a private showing, contact Tyler Bernadyn of REMAX Results.
