In-town Elegance. Privately nestled on nearly 2 acres off Bellevue Avenue, this rare and unique offering is exquisite in every detail. Inspired by the charm, elegance and craftsmanship of an ancestral manor house, this stately home offers elegant grand spaces for formal entertaining and warm inviting rooms for daily living. The entry hall features a vaulted ceiling and arched doorways, beyond are rooms of classic beauty and proportions, with discerning attention to scale and balance. Elaborate plaster crown and dentil moldings are present throughout, including the great room with 20' ceiling and marble fireplace. The spacious formal dining room is embraced by curved walls and apsidal windows creating an enveloping elegance. Soft sunlight streams through the library, a bibliophile's dream, with recessed trey ceiling, wet bar and fireplace. Each room flows seamlessly into the other. The office, or den, is a private haven, complete with built-in bookcases and a cozy sleeping nook. Upstairs, a circular landing and anterooms separate two large primary en-suite bedrooms, one with fireplace, one with balcony. The mezzanine level gives onto the en-suite guest bedroom. A well-appointed light-filled kitchen, with a soaring ceiling offers access to a stone patio for outdoor entertaining and dining, overlooking the park-like grounds. Mature specimen trees adorn this beautifully landscaped property. A premier Newport estate location, walk to town, harbor, Cliff Walk and beaches.
