Welcome home to this beautifully restored turn key residence in the heart of the historic "Point" neighborhood of Newport. The original house is circa 1760 and underwent an extensive and complete renovation by Behan Construction in 2016. No detail was spared throughout this masterfully crafted home featuring the highest quality materials and fixtures. Outside you have the perfect manicured garden, an inground saltwater pool, and charming guesthouse. Driveway to accommodate 2 cars, plus ample storage for bicycles and equipment. The lower level of the main house is finished complete with 'bunk room', tv room, temperature controlled 400+ bottle wine room, and an infrared sauna. Fantastic location steps away from Newport Harbor, and a short distance to the restaurants, entertainment and culture of downtown Newport. This idyllic home encompasses the epitome of Newport living.
