Set along the edge of Saugatucket Pond in one of S Set along the edge of Saugatucket Pond in one of South Kingstown’s most sought-after neighborhoods, The Oaks, this beautifully designed split-level ranch offers the kind of quiet luxury that feels increasingly rare. 174 Oakwoods Drive is a 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom waterfront retreat that blends nature, comfort, and craftsmanship. Sunlight pours into the open-concept living and dining area, where warm inlaid hardwood floors add timeless texture. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, and brand-new appliances — ideal for everyday ease or entertaining. Downstairs, the lower level unfolds as a flexible, light-filled sanctuary with oversized windows overlooking the grand stone patio and tranquil water beyond. This space includes a guest bedroom with an office nook, a full bath, and a bonus room. Upstairs, the primary suite is generously sized and privately positioned, with an en suite bath and peaceful views. Two additional bedrooms — each with their own pond-facing windows — share a tastefully updated full bath. Outdoors, the experience is no less compelling. A large back patio invites both slow mornings and summer gatherings, while the spacious backyard leading to the water’s edge creates a dreamlike backdrop for nature lovers and birders. And with no flood insurance required, the practical appeal matches the beauty. Just minutes from the area’s beaches, shops, and dining — and within reach of many major cities — this home offers a rare blend of serenity and convenience in one of Rhode Island’s most picturesque settings. 📍 174 Oakwoods Drive, South Kingstown, RI

It was an elegant evening of reflection, recogniti It was an elegant evening of reflection, recognition, and renewal on June 12 as The Preservation Society of Newport County hosted its Annual Meeting at the gilded grandeur of The Breakers. Against the backdrop of the Vanderbilt summer “cottage,” trustees gathered to usher in a new era of leadership, celebrate a legacy of service, and bestow honors upon those whose talents and dedication continue to shape Newport’s storied past into a sustainable future. Peter W. Harris, a familiar face within the organization, was elected Chairman of the Board of Trustees. A trustee since 2016 and most recently Vice Chairman and Treasurer, Harris brings not just institutional knowledge but deep experience from his role as co-founder of Mooring Partners, a firm that advises in homeland security technology. His predecessor, William F. Lucey III, was awarded the prestigious Antiquarian Award—The Preservation Society’s highest honor. Lucey’s 15-year tenure, which included steering the organization through the seismic challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and leading major capital campaigns, left a profound impact. The meeting also welcomed four new trustees—each with a unique blend of professional clout and preservation passion. Among them: Debra Del Vecchio, global style executive and garden restorer; Kate Enroth, legal veteran and civic volunteer; Evan Smith, the voice of Newport tourism for over three decades; and Valerie Talmage, preservationist and former executive director of Preserve Rhode Island. The Society also presented its Laurel Awards, a trio of honors spotlighting exceptional local contributions. Jerry Kirby and Kirby Perkins Construction received the Artisanship Award for their impeccable restoration of the Isaac Bell House; Victoria Johnson was recognized for her tireless volunteerism and civic spirit; and William Orlando, of Orlando Greenhouse, was celebrated for his horticultural mastery at The Breakers Stable Greenhouse. In Newport, where history is both heritage and heartbeat, the evening was a reminder: it takes a village—and a vision—to preserve a legacy. 📸 Dave Hansen/The Preservation Society of Newport County #newportmansions #newportri #newportbuzz
