About This Home

As of July 2026

Step back in time and fall in love with this beautifully maintained early 1900s detached home in the heart of Newport Borough. Surrounded by gorgeous landscaping and brimming with character and charm, this special property offers timeless appeal both inside and out. A welcoming front porch invites you to relax and enjoy the friendly neighborhood atmosphere. Inside, you'll immediately feel at home with decorative transom windows, abundant natural light, and warm, inviting living spaces. The cozy kitchen features a convenient breakfast bar and flows seamlessly into the formal dining room, while the spacious living room showcases large front windows that fill the home with sunlight. Upstairs, you'll find three comfortable bedrooms and a generously sized full bath. A walk-up attic provides excellent storage space, while the clean basement includes a laundry area and an attached workshop/shed area with walkout access to the lower deck and backyard. Outdoor living is equally impressive with two rear decks—upper and lower levels—perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or taking in the beautiful mountain views. The meticulously maintained yard offers plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors, and a paved driveway provides off-street parking. Ideally located in a welcoming borough setting, this charming home is just moments from local shops, restaurants, parks, and everything this quaint river town has to offer. A rare opportunity to own a lovingly cared-for home filled with history, character, and modern-day comfort.
