About this home
Elegant waterfront estate perched high on the cliffs of Bonnet Shores affords captivating, expansive views of Narragansett Bay, the ocean, Beavertail lighthouse and the Newport Bridge. The current owners–only the 2nd owners since the home was constructed in 1929–completed a meticulous custom rebuild by Davitt Design Build. Materials and workmanship are exceptional throughout. A subsequent renovation–beautifully executed by Baud Builders and artfully designed by architect Nancy Leslie–transformed an unfinished attic space into a stunning, light-filled master suite with soaring ceilings, en suite bath, office, sitting room with fireplace, and access to a private mahogany deck overlooking the Bay. This brick and shingled home features 4/5 bedrooms (5BR septic), 4 gorgeous baths, state of the art stainless/quartz kitchen, fireplaced Great Room, glorious sun room, and magnificent reclaimed heart pine flooring throughout. Tastefully decorated, this one-of-a-kind masterpiece seamlessly blends the look and feel of past and present. The home and setting evoke a sense of casual, coastal tranquility. A lovely rear yard brick patio, partially shaded by a distinctive pergola, is bordered by a lush lawn, crisply edged planting beds and mature landscaping. Also included: 2 car garage, alarm system, generator & outdoor shower. Situated next to small, protected Battery Park this home provides a quiet, private escape. Access to Kelly’s Beach. Minutes to Newport, 90 minutes to Boston, and 3 hours to NYC.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
