ENTERED FOR COMP PURPOSES. Overlooking picturesque views of Newport Harbor, this exceptional property offers a rare combination of classic character, modern comfort, and flexible use. The main residence features original hardwood floors, central air conditioning, a thoughtfully designed designer kitchen, and updated 1.5 bathrooms. New Pella windows throughout flood the home with natural light, while a wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and charm. A private roof deck provides a front-row seat to harbor activity and coastal sunsets, extending the living space outdoors. Complementing the main house is a detached guest cottage, creating a true second unit ideal for guests, extended family, or rental income. An electric car charger adds modern convenience, and the property’s two-family zoning presents multiple opportunities for a primary residence, second home, or investment buyer. With harbor views, flexible layout options, and a prime Newport setting, this is a compelling offering with both lifestyle appeal and long-term value.
