About this home
Imagine waking up just one block from the water in one of New England's most sought-after coastal cities now bring the dream to life at 59 Houston Avenue, located in Newport's 5th Ward, a neighborhood prized for its quiet residential ambience yet close proximity to King Park and bustling Thames Street. Don't be fooled by the build date this delightful 19th-century cottage has been extensively rebuilt from shell to systems, with quality upgrades throughout that offer modern conveniences and true peace of mind. Contemporary minimalist design blends seamlessly with historic accents, including original oak floors and ornate cast-iron radiators. Easily host a dinner party for ten, beginning with drinks and hors d'oeuvres around the center waterfall island before gathering in the formal dining room. The wonderfully functional kitchen features two sinks including an oversized farmhouse sink a large pantry, and seemingly endless American-built cabinetry. The upper level offers a primary en suite, two additional spacious bedrooms, and a shared hall bath. The low-maintenance outdoor space includes a patio, a secure area for storing kayaks and bikes, and a small enclosed yard ideal for pets, while the full basement provides ample storage for all your summer gear. Although an Elevation Certificate was never acquired, the property was updated with flood mitigation in mind, including improved drainage and systems installed above ground.
