About This Home
As of May 2022Perched atop the Yachting Village on a secret tucked away street, this gem of a cottage is the perfect getaway retreat. Enjoy the light-filled upstairs with open loft-like space, hardwood floors, exposed beams and winter harbor views. A charming cast iron stove and deck just off the living room keep you toasty in the winter and sunny in the summer. First floor laundry and off street parking complete the appeal of this well-maintained home in one of Newport's most special locations.
