Perched on nearly three private acres above the Sakonnet River, the Capt. Isaac Church House, c. 1880 commands sweeping water views, glittering sunsets, passing sailboats, and the quiet rhythm of the river below. A separate 0.35-acre waterfront parcel is included, ready for your private dock. More than a home, this is a lifestyle headquarters and a landmark of Newport County’s architectural heritage. This classic Victorian announces itself with a wraparound covered porch, intricate millwork, pitched gables, and a dramatic three-story center bay rising above the treeline. Inside, 4 bedrooms, 4 baths, and 3,335 sq ft of living space unfold across sun-filled rooms designed for elegant entertaining and everyday ease. The great room’s four-sided floor-to-ceiling granite fireplace anchors the home with warmth and grandeur. A formal dining room, library, living room, and updated kitchen complete the main level. The finished walk-out lower level with water views offers endless possibilities: guest suite, recreation space, or private retreat. Beyond the main residence, the compound delivers remarkable versatility. A two-car garage with oversized boat storage and a one-bedroom Accessory Dwelling Unit above offer income potential or guest accommodations. The historic cut-granite Carriage House awaits your vision—artist’s studio, entertainment barn, or additional dwelling. Newport and Providence are minutes away. Boston is just one hour. Your dock is waiting.
