Nestled on a bright corner lot, this beautifully renovated residence perfectly balances 19th-century character with contemporary updates. The home is anchored by a front porch that opens to a generous foyer with a meticulously restored original stairwell and glowing hardwood floors. Tall ceilings and original pocket doors maintain the character of the home, while the open flow from the living room to the dining room make it ideal for entertaining. The dining room features a classic bay window and a decorative fireplace, creating a warm, sun-drenched atmosphere. Expansive chef’s kitchen featuring Thermador appliances, a coffee bar, and a oversized wall pantry completes the first floor, alongside a convenient powder room and laundry. The second floor offers three bedrooms, several of which easily accommodate king-sized beds. These are served by a modern bathroom featuring sophisticated glass tile work and sleek glass shower doors. The renovation extends to a fully finished third floor, with an additional spacious bedroom, a full bathroom, and a separate living nook tucked into the eaves. Outside the paver driveway leads to a one-car garage and a hardscaped grilling area perfect for summer alfresco dining. A curated sunny patch of grass provides the ideal space for small-scale gardening or a "Fido-friendly" play area. Walk to town from the home’s prime location—just minutes from Newport Hospital, Broadway, and the city's favorite local shops and restaurants.
