Benjamin F. Downing, the head carpenter for The Breakers, built this home for himself at the turn of the century as is evident by the handsome historic details throughout. Plus, this property, in heart of the Historic Hill, is is on a lovely one way street. Open the mahogany front door and enjoy over four levels of living space encompassing over 3,000 square feet. Need to have a zoom meeting -= no problem- lots of options. A carefree lifestyle awaits. Leave your car keys behind, walk into town for dinner, go to the movies or listen to Jazz on the Top of the Roof at the Viking Hotel. Plus, there is a classic front porch, a brick driveway for two cars, a spectacular two tiered garden with blue stone hardscape, with mature trees that rustle in the wind, a gas fireplace, koi pond and fountain. At night the lighting creates drama. Walk through the lower level door into the house from the garden and you have an kitchenette with quartz countertops, sink and Subzero refrigerator that works both as your second kitchen or kitchenette for the extended family nestled in the guest quarters on this level. On the other three floors you have a Gourmet kitchen, a bar with wine storage, a pantry, multiple sitting areas with custom storage options, laundry room, surround sound, and efficient gas heat and central air. The third floor entices you with a sitting room with skylight and those lovely yellow pine floors & a bedroom that overlooks the Newport Harbor in the distance.
