Charming unit in historic "Belair", formerly the residence of the George Norman family whose daughter, Mabel, donated the family farm to create Middletown's Norman Bird Sanctuary. This stylish second floor residence showcases many original archtectural details which include 12' ceilings, herringbone hardwoods throughout and custom built-ins and wood burning fireplace in the living room. The kitchen features granite countertops, stone floor and stainless steel appliances. Full bath with tiled shower, marble vanity and custom designed mirrored wall cabinet. Entryway was restored to its original appearance and a half bath with Colorado marble and a loft were added. New Heat/AC unit installed. Building improvements include a new slate roof and a refitted elevator reminiscent of days gone by. Enjoy the lovely grounds in this ideal Newport location. Close to the Redwood Library, Newport Art Museum, Bellevue Avenue shops and restaurants and First Beach. Truly a gem!
