The path to the pond has grown over. On a blustery November day we went to see Broadview with Realtor Nanci Millin. Then, up ahead we spotted the tall brown cupola towering above the neighborhood of new and old shingled homes. People slow down to look at it. They take pictures.
Artists paint it.
In Rhode Island it's hard to get waterfront property, but it's even harder to get beachfront. To get beachfront and pondfront in one place is unheard of. But here it is. The property's 96 feet of oceanfront lie across the street from the house. When John and Jean were children, they could be up to their shoulders in ocean 20 feet out.
