Overview
While not located within the Historic District, the property is presented as a historic landmark with deep local restoration history. It was purchased by the current owners in 1965 and restored as a demonstration project under the “Operation Clapboard” initiative. The listing notes the home has appeared in multiple books, magazines, and newspaper articles. Easy access to downtown Newport and its amenities is described as an added benefit.
As an income-ready duplex with multiple bedroom and bath configurations, this property may appeal to buyers seeking a distinctive residential rental setup within a deeply historic framework. The home is being sold AS IS, with a pre-inspection report available for review. Renovation flexibility is specifically noted due to the property’s location outside the Historic District.
