    What's special

    Located on lovely Rhode Island Avenue, this former gardener's cottage to the White Stone estate, retains much of it's original charm thanks to exposed beams and cathedral ceilings. Brimming with Newport character, this home offers pine floors throughout the main level with an open dining, living area with wood-burning stove, and built-ins, all which open to a private oasis of lush landscaping and gravel patio. The main bedroom has a lovely bay window and a full bath right across the hall with stall shower. There is a bonus room on the second floor which could be used as an office or additional sleeping space for weekend guests. The sweet kitchen is a perfect compliment to the scale of the house with glass front cabinetry. Improvements include a new roof, new heating system, new floors, new windows and new bath. Picture perfect and turn key. A short walk to the Cliffwalk, First Beach, Bellevue shops and restaurants - but you'll find it hard to leave!
