About This Home
As of December 2021John Carey Jr., Gardener's Cottage. Mystery surrounds this fabulous property that was once an adjunct to the Oakwood estate - an 1876 classic Queen Anne? Or a colonial structure with 1600's structural elements re-made to Queen Anne style by architects Sturgis & Brigham. Built on-site or moved to present location? In all ways, this cottage adds wonderfully to what makes Newport so special with its abundant architectural appeals and styles. House needs work and will be a superlative when complete. A pre-listing home inspection report is available for serious buyers.
