An elegant Victorian in the most desirable downtown district, standing in wonderful contrast to the surrounding colonial-era buildings, with its mansard roof, stately bay windows and charming veranda. The interior follows a circular flow, where the first sequence of rooms off the entrance hall is the parlor, library, and grand dining room, framed by original molding and wide plank pine floors. The main floor is flooded with natural light, the second and third floors comprised of 7 bedrooms, 4 of which are en-suite, feature views of the tall ships at Bowens and the iconic Trinity Church. A few steps from the front door will put you in the heart of Newport's world-renowned Harbor Front, one of the most vibrant and popular vacation destinations in the world, and considering the central location, the property provides a surprisingly peaceful setting with a private back yard, interior garden and oversized parking deck. With expansive interior living spaces, a chef's kitchen, large bedroom count, private outdoor living space, and ample parking, this property would make a remarkable family compound, a vacation getaway, or a premium guest facility. Zoned General Business, which presents unrestricted rental opportunity and possibility for expansion. The essential summer address.
