Charming Newport Cottage in a Bullseye In-Town location! The Clifton House at 51 William Street is located on Historic Hill, midway between Bellevue Avenue and Newport Harbor. Unique luxuries and everyday conveniences are right at your door – cafes, restaurants, gourmet market, farmer’s market, Tennis Hall of Fame, Newport Harbor, Redwood and Public Libraries, Art Museum and Aquidneck Park and Playground. The Clifton House is currently used as 2 one-bedroom apartments but would serve equally well as a 3-bedroom single family. A large brick patio is a private oasis, perfect for enjoying the sun, gardening, and hosting friends and family for dining al fresco!

The beautiful open layout starts with the entry foyer and staircase into a large living room and oversized kitchen with French doors opening out onto the back patio. The bedroom has handsome built-in closeting, while the oversized bathroom features in-unit laundry. The second floor is a beautiful atelier apartment, with sprawling living/dining/kitchen, bedroom fit for a king-size bed, generous walk-in closet, and lovely bathroom with claw-foot tub. A full cellar offers ample storage for bikes and boards. First floor unit leased through November 2026.
