About This Home

As of November 2023

Welcome to Willow's Edge c.1731, an exquisitely restored historic property on the exclusive Point,' in Newport. Built in 1731 by James Davis, a Newport Quaker, this home has presided over its corner location for nearly 300 years.

This home boasts 5 bedrooms and 4 & 1/2 gorgeous bathrooms, coupling modern conveniences elegantly with the casual comforts of days gone by. The custom-milled exterior along with the warm wide plank interior floors are sumptuous. The extensive & loving restoration was orchestrated from the ground up and the outside in. No expense was spared to allow Willow's Edge to solidly adorn Second Street for another 300 years. We welcome you to tour this remarkable home!
