About This Home

As of April 2022

Free-Standing units are rare in Newport. This 1019 sf unit at Carrington House Condos is very private and sits in the rear of the property surrounded by a stone patio that is ideal for outside entertaining. The garden beds are lovely and inviting. There is a large bedroom with a full bath on the first floor. The second floor has another bedroom. The present owner has made considerable improvements during the renovation process: new kitchen with AGA range (propane), Bosch refrigerator, farmer's sink, new cabinetry. Custom wooden shutters are throughout. There are hardwood floors throughout and an extensive amount of storage space provided in built-in cabinets. High end washer and dryer units are in the unit. A fireplace is a lovely feature during the cooler months.

The landscaping around the property allows for peace and privacy. This condo unit allows an owner to have the "feel" of a small single family home with condo amenities offered for easy living---an ideal Newport pied-a-terre that is within walking distance to Easton's Beach, shops, and dining.
