36 Thames St, Newport, RI 02840

Historic circa 1746 Colonial on Upper Thames just steps to downtown with a large, private garden and ... parking! NO FLOOD INSURANCE REQUIRED! Completely restored with 10 rooms, 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, 4 working fireplaces, and wide plank floors - a graceful marriage of artistic sensitivity and historical aesthetics. New heating and cooling systems. The "secret garden" extends deep into the lot providing a quiet refuge for alfresco dining with many perennials including Lenten Rose, Miss Kim lilacs, and the chocolate vine, Akebia. Those who have lived here before include sea captains, the Stevens family, stonecutters, Belgian lace makers and liturgical artist, Ade Bethune. Alexander Hamilton is said to have slept here. Come add your name to the list.
