True North Cottage blends Newport character with simple comfort and coastal charm. This single-level, three-bedroom, one-bath home features an open kitchen and living area filled with natural light and easy flow. A glassed-in enclosed porch extends the living space, offering a relaxing spot to read or enjoy the breeze. The small fenced-in yard provides privacy for morning coffee or evening gatherings. Set within one of Newport’s great old neighborhoods—once described by Thornton Wilder in Theophilus North as one of the “nine cities of Newport”—this cottage sits within walking distance of the water, the bike path, and a 12-acre historic cemetery that tells the story of the city’s past. True North Cottage captures the ease of seaside living—uncomplicated, inviting, and close to everything that makes the North End such a special corner of the city. Too many upgrades to mention—come take a look for yourself!
