Welcome to 52 Bliss Road, located just off trendy Broadway in Newport, RI. This classic 1940s cape has been beautifully updated but still holds its historic character. Recent upgrades include a new kitchen, updated bathrooms, fully painted interior and exterior, as well as refinished hardwood floors. Don’t let the size fool you, this property has a 1900 sq ft footprint with four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and an additional space perfect for a home office, laundry room (hookups already in place), or a large walk-in closet. Situated on a private, double parcel lot, 52 Bliss is close to tennis, fresh water, and the bridge while just about one mile to downtown Newport and the Cliff Walk/First Beach.
