Welcome to the Peleg Bryer House, circa 1845, a charming historic gem located on Newport's Historic Hill area. Tucked in-between Kay, Touro & Spring streets - this sought after neighborhood is steps from both uptown & downtown shopping with dining, theater, history & the waterfront all within reach. The delightful 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home offers the perfect blend of old-world charm and modern convenience. With 2,074 square feet of thoughtfully updated living space, including a new freshly painted full interior & a recent (2018) renovation, you'll find a modern kitchen with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a pantry. The open-plan living area features a cozy gas fireplace, perfect for intimate gatherings. Upstairs, the master suite boasts cathedral ceilings, a stunning bay window, and a relaxing ensuite. Two additional double bedrooms, a laundry room, and a bathroom complete the upper level. The home also includes a full basement for added storage. Enjoy the private outdoor courtyard with low-maintenance plantings and deck, ideal for dining and entertaining. The quiet street location offers easy convenient access and is just about a mile from the beach and Cliff Walk. This home is a treasure waiting for you to discover. (The property has no off-street parking - there is no driveway. Street parking is by resident-sticker parking only but the parking is, most often, plentiful. 23MV is designated a 2-family but is utilized as a single family.)
