    What's special

    Discover the charm of this elegant one-level condo in the historic Eastbourne Lodge, situated in the desirable Kay/Catherine neighborhood. This bright southwest corner unit benefitting from abundant natural light boasts its own private 400+ sq ft terrace, perfect for outdoor dining, entertaining, or unwinding. The open kitchen and great room feature a gas fireplace and custom cabinetry. The kitchen includes bar seating, a gas cooktop, quartz countertops and backsplash, and a beverage fridge. Two large bedrooms, one with a gas fireplace, offer impressive walk-in closets and luxurious bathrooms with marble-topped vanities and custom marble mosaic floor tiles, allowing either to serve as the primary suite. An office off one bedroom can also function as extra sleeping space. Elegance is found throughout, with a welcoming foyer, beautiful hardwood floors, high ceilings, classic wainscoting, crown molding, and a half bath with stylish wallpaper. Accessible by a grand staircase or an elevator, this second-floor condo also offers a large common rooftop deck with Newport views. Conveniently located near Easton’s Beach, Bellevue Avenue, and downtown Newport, it includes a spacious private storage room in the basement. While the building has historic charm and appeal, it was converted into condos in only mid-2017, making the systems just over 7 years old. This sophisticated condo residence perfectly combines historic allure with modern convenience.
