“Arcadia” at 14 Ninigret Avenue in Watch Hill has sold for $9,000,000, marking the highest sale of 2024, according to data from the Multiple Listing Service.
Built in 1892, “Arcadia” is an estate for the ages with nine bedrooms, many family lounge spaces, an in-law suite, and a 72-foot screened porch designed for enjoying ocean breezes.
The sellers were represented by Donna Simmons and the buyers were represented by Bill Hecker, both Sales Associates with Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International Realty.
It was designed by the New York firm of Tracy Magonigle for one of the early cottage community settlers, from Cincinnati, Ohio. Ninigret Avenue was dubbed Cincinnati Row by other summer residents because so many Cincinnati people came to the area from the humid landlocked summers of the Midwest. Arcadia harkens back to an earlier, more leisurely time designed for enjoying ocean breezes and the sounds of the cresting ocean. Arcadia is an estate for the ages with nine bedrooms, many family lounge spaces and an in-law suite.
“An iconic part of the Watch Hill community,” said Simmons. “I am so happy to have helped my clients pass on this spectacular home.”
“I am thrilled to see this home be passed down to the new owners,” said Hecker. “A special historical summer cottage that is quintessential Watch Hill.”
