Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1990
Julie Munafo is a pewter artist and gardener. She loves to travel and recently ran one of Ashland, Oregon's favorite upscale inns. Julie and her partner Bob now live in the historic town of East Greenwich, RI.
Why the Owner Chose Jamestown
I absolutely love this house. Every time I pull into the driveway I feel like I have arrived in paradise. Island life is simple and Jamestown is one of the most beautiful towns going. It is a very community oriented, "Mayberry" type of hometown with farms, rocky coves, marshland, and a spectacular peninsula that hosts the lighthouse at Beavertail State Park.
The Unique Benefits of this Cottage
Built in 1910, this small cottage is tucked inside a secret garden. The private porch overlooks a yard full of wildflowers, roses, flowering trees and other gardens. It is the kind of home where you can sit all day and watch a robin build a nest.
