Timeless Colonial style elevates this home located in the Historic Point neighborhood in Newport.

A fenced yard with a tiered patio sets a sublime summer scene with gardens, mature plantings, and hydrangeas. The main house’s three levels of living includes a kitchen with a large dining area comfortably seating eight, a fireplaced den, and a large family room at the front of the house. The adjacent TV room proves perfect for cozy times around multiple fireplaces. The second level presents a primary bedroom spacious enough for a king bed with its own fireplace and an ensuite bath. Down the hall in the back of the property is a guest bedroom, a second bath with laundry, and a cedar closet. The third floor offers four bedrooms along with a tub-style bath. The surrounding city of Newport delights with spellbinding coastal vistas and endless experiences. Among its many attractions are the cafes and eateries of Broadway, charming Belleview Avenue, historic Touro Synagogue, and the lively shops and restaurants along Thames Street and Bowen’s Wharf.
