Traditional 1900s Newport Cottage with a lot to offer! This 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers one of the neighborhood's larger lots within the convenient Kerry Hill/Van Zant area of Newport, just a short walk to downtown and a quick, traffic-free commute to the Navy Base or Newport Bridge. Featuring many updates, including a recently renovated modern kitchen (2022), new roof with fully purchased solar panels (2023), eliminating the electric bill, refinished hardwood floors throughout, and an open modern layout between the kitchen and living room, that flows seamlessly into a bright and airy dining room and cozy living room. The three bedrooms are located on the second floor, accompanied by a full bath, and the convenient half bath on the first floor ensures that everyone's needs are met. However, what makes this home stand out is the detached two-car garage, large driveway, and spacious yard. The driveway can provide 4+ side-by-side parking spaces, and if you’re a boating enthusiast, you’ll particularly appreciate the convenience and cost-saving of trailering your boat directly from the driveway without sacrificing off-street parking. The two bay garage offers plenty of room for one or two more vehicles while still leaving space for water sports equipment to take advantage of Newport’s unique coastline and beaches. Homes with these features, also within walking distance to Newport's vibrant downtown, are exceedingly rare and perfectly complement Newport’s coastal lifestyle.
