Orignially built in 1892 as a guest house for the Naval War College and in 2022 this home underwent an extensive renovation top to bottom with quality materials and thoughtful design. Uniquely equipped to accommodate a variety of living arrangements, the property holds a legal guest-house license and has garnered 100% 5-star reviews providing an excellent opportunity for rental income. Can be purchased as a furnished/turnkey property. Six bedrooms and six bathrooms including a third-floor legal in-law unit that can be repurposed as a guest suite/office. The owners planned this reconstruction as a long term investment and while honoring the home's original aesthetics they introduced state-of-the art features; modern systems include advanced HVAC, new electrical & plumbing systems, Marvin windows, electric car charger, conduit for future solar, and a hotel grade fire suppression system. Gourmet kitchens, elegant bathrooms, bamboo flooring, custom carpentry, second floor laundry, and a fabulous tree house style sitting room. Historical charm radiates through detailed woodwork, antique stained glass windows, restored pocket door, gas fireplaces, and wraparound porch with a balcony. Built for enjoying outdoor living with a fenced backyard, hazelnut trees, and two outdoor showers. Detached 2-car garage has space for bikes and surfboards. Unparalleled flexibility and potential in Newport's vibrant community within walking distance to dining, shopping, and an easy coastal lifestyle.
