519 Bellevue Ave #1S, Newport, RI 02840

Rare opportunity to own a portion of an elegant, historic Bellevue Avenue mansion built at the peak of the Gilded age in 1895 and designed by famed architect Bruce Price, who also designed the Audrain building in Newport and many properties in Tuxedo Park, NY. Extremely desirable first floor, one level, very spacious (2700 sf) unit with exceptionally high (+11 foot) ceilings and deep crown moldings. Gorgeous period details, including 2 working fireplaces with detailed marble mantle pieces, herringbone patterned hardwood floors in excellent condition. Plentiful windows many with southern exposure, including a stunning sunroom, which was most recently used as a dining room which is surrounded by windows that overlook and provide direct access to the lush common area grounds. Two formal reception rooms - one with extensive built-in bookcases and one with plentiful wall space for art - both of which have working fireplaces. Spacious master bedroom with en-suite master bathroom, large walk-in closet, separate laundry room, and office area. Currently configured as a one bedroom, but given its expansive 2700 sq. ft. size, this spacious condo could be reconfigured into a 2- or 3-bedroom condo. Large and sunny eat-in kitchen with abundant cabinet storage space. The building's exterior & systems have had recent upgrades and improvements.
