Have you checked out Barrington? Middle of the east bay bike path, access to the bay which is meh for swimming but whatever. Great schools. Plot size is a bit trim depending on what's available but can probably find something up your alley. It's north of warren (the order on the east bay goses Providence - East Providence - Barrington - Warren - Bristol), so easy access to 114.

The downside is that to get into Providence and beyond at the moment, both bridges are under construction. But it's the same from Bristol anyway.

Your budget is - I'll say - healthy compared to others around here so Barrington should be within reach.

Thanks, have not looked there will check it out. It sounds like E Greenwich / Kingston is generally more accessible by train to the bigger cities which may sway us in that direction though we may give up some benefits of acreage and peacefulness. P.S. your name immediately evoked phantom garlic fart aroma when I read it. Well played.
