Property Description
In the heart of Newport's Historic Hill, this handsome Italianate Victorian offers approximately 3600 square feet of living space with six bedrooms and three full baths. Generous rooms, high ceilings, and original architectural details give the house the scale and character of a classic Newport residence. The private garden is a rare find in this part of the city, with mature landscaping and two brick patios for outdoor dining and entertaining. A third floor balcony looks west toward the Pell Bridge and Newport's beautiful sunsets. Recent improvements include a new roof, updated electrical systems, engineered foundation supports, and extensive landscaping. A separate au pair suite offers flexibility for family or guests or as a single floor master suite. Off street parking for two cars and an EV charger complete this property that is exceptionally well suited to enjoy restaurants, shops, and beaches all within easy reach from home. See upgrade sheet.
