Description

Expansive family retreat in the heart of Newport! Set on a half acre of hedged, private grounds with a south-facing heated pool, a guest house, and an easy walk to town, this 1855 home was taken down to the studs in 2021 and rebuilt by the acclaimed Horan Building Company. It lives like new construction with all the character of the original. Custom millwork runs throughout, and the kitchen and baths were designed for the house. The first floor is wonderfully open and made for entertaining, flowing easily to the covered porch, the pool, and the outdoor kitchen yet there are still quiet corners to slip away to, with a sun room, an office, a sitting room, and a first-floor primary bedroom and bath. Upstairs, the the second floor primary suite is a retreat of its own, with a soaking tub, separate shower, and a walk-in closet the size of a bedroom. Two more en suite bedrooms and a generous laundry room share the floor, and the top level opens into a wide recreation room with another bedroom and bath. Outside, hedged for privacy on every side, the grounds hold the pool, an outdoor kitchen, a fire pit, outdoor shower and a hot tub. The garage is new as well and carries a full one-bedroom guest house above with kitchenette, separately heated and a legal second unit. Whole-house generator, parking for six or more, and a short walk to downtown Newport, Easton's Beach, the Cliff Walk, and St. Michael's Country Day School.
