Designing a home located on a Island is a dream that few of us will ever realize, here is one stunning example of an inspirational home situated on Rhode Island’s Narragansett Bay in US.

This three storey house was built by Architect J.S. Lovering Wharton along with Artist William Trost Richards. Today the home is owned by Boston Architect Henry Wood, he purchased the Island Home in 1961 for just $3,600 !  It had stood empty for two decades.

When the home was completed in 1095 the total cost of the construction was $36,982.99 which would have been a huge sum of money then.
