Renovated Cape in one of Newport’s most sought-after neighborhoods, just off Bellevue Avenue and minutes to Ocean Drive and local beaches. Turnkey condition with a first-floor primary bedroom and a bright main living level featuring hardwood floors, a fireplace, and southern exposure. The updated kitchen opens to the dining area and a private rear deck overlooking a landscaped yard. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath are located upstairs. A large two-car garage with workshop provides generous off-street parking. The garage offers potential for conversion to an accessory dwelling unit, subject to approvals, with strong seasonal and off-season income potential. There is a separate electric meter. Well-suited for year-round living or a Newport summer residence, with expansion potential and parking rarely found at this price point.
