Living the Dream After coveting a property for decades, a couple builds a home on Ninigret Pond with an eye on sustainability and spectacular views When Patty Higgins’ parents bought a beach cottage in Charlestown in the ‘80s, little did they know they were sparking a lifelong love of the area in their then-teenage daughter. Today, with three grown kids of her own, recent retiree Patty and husband Bill live in a house they built just over a year ago on property she admired for quite some time, just a stone’s throw away from that original summer place. “I like to think of my parents, now deceased, as having a major influence on our living on this beautiful piece of land on the Ninigret,” she says.
