About This Home
As of June 2022Gorgeous fully renovated home located in a quiet area off of Broadway and Gibbs Avenue. Just a short walk, bike ride or drive to First Beach and downtown restaurants and shops, with easy access to the bridge as well. The renovation in 2015 added a master suite and new kitchen along with new electrical, heating and cooling; but preserved the home's original beautiful hardwood floors and crown molding throughout. A lovely front porch wraps partly around the house with an extra entrance, in addition to the original front Dutch door. On the first floor the bright kitchen features an island with seating and opens into living space that continues into a formal living room with a wood burning fireplace. There's a dining room and half bath, and a large mudroom in back with your washer and dryer. Upstairs holds 2 bedrooms, plus a sun-filled bonus room, full bath, and a dreamy primary bedroom with a large walk-in closet, ensuite bathroom, and private deck which overlooks the yard. The perfectly manicured yard was updated in 2020 with a new bluestone patio, wood fence, and new gardens. Plenty of storage in the one car garage, and space for up to 4 cars in the driveway. Come view this quintessential Newport Home.
