Grand Newport Stay Near Bellevue and Harbor
Housed within the former billiards room of Heartsease, a historic Victorian residence designed by George Champlin Mason in 1873, this two bedroom Newport stay pairs striking original detail with an easy in town location. Soaring ceilings, carved millwork, hardwood floors, updated kitchen, private entry, shared outdoor space, and parking for one car give guests a distinctive place to stay near Bellevue Avenue, Broadway, downtown, and the harbor, with shoreline walks and Newport energy nearby too.
The space
Original detail is what sets this residence apart. The main room rises to a 13 foot curved ceiling framed by carved molding, with polished hardwood floors below and dark walls that sharpen the white architectural trim. Bubble chandeliers bring in a more current note, while the fireplace mantel and scale of the room keep its history present in a way that still feels livable for a short stay.
The kitchen has been updated with white quartz counters and backsplash, a French door GE refrigerator, dishwasher, and a built in wine and beverage chiller. It feels fresh and current without pulling attention from the older detail that gives the home its identity.
The primary bedroom includes a king bed, high ceilings, original wainscoting, and two large closets. The second bedroom is set with two double beds, giving the layout flexibility for family or friends sharing the stay. The renovated bath has a floating vanity, subway tile, penny tile, and a shower over tub.
Guests enter through a private separate entrance and also have access to shared outdoor spaces, a porch, dedicated parking for one car, and onsite laundry.
This part of Newport makes it easy to settle into the city. Bellevue Avenue is nearby for landmark homes and cliffside views, Broadway brings restaurants and cafes, and downtown leads you toward the harbor, shops, and waterfront activity. It is a strong location for guests who want a stay with real character and easy access to the parts of Newport people come for.
Guest access
We have everything you need for a seamless and enjoyable stay. Enjoy full private access to the apartment which is part of Heartsease, a historic Victorian residence designed by George Champlin Mason in 1873. Guests enter through a private separate entrance and also have access to shared outdoor spaces, a porch, and onsite laundry. You may park 1 vehicle in the parking lot.
