This three-parcel residential property offers a unique opportunity to live in the heart of Newport's Historic Hill district, virtually across the street from Touro Park and the Old Stone Mill in an authentic two-and-a-half-story red-brick colonial with a private driveway, separate guest accommodations in a renovated carriage house, and a detached four-car garage. There are few if any locations in this exclusive neighborhood that provide such an appealing off-street presence, a self-contained, estate-style compound combining total privacy with abundant open space. The main house is a charming blend of circa-1730 timber-frame construction faced in red brick, and a newer wood-shingled addition built in 1981 to the rear. It features five bedrooms, three full baths upstairs and one half-bath down, original wide-board pine floors, living room and dining room both with fireplaces, and an eat-in kitchen with its own fireplace. A separate carriage house was renovated in 1978 and converted into a two-story unit with a living room and built-in kitchen on the first floor, and two bedrooms with a full bath and washer/dryer upstairs. A freestanding four-car garage completes the building inventory. Consisting of three parcels on nearly half an acre of R-3 residential real estate, this gem has development potential above and beyond its suitability for private ownership. A worthy investment at every level.
