~ If this home had cheeks, you'd pinch them! ~ Nestled at the end of a cul-de-sac, this classic Newport cottage is one of the city's best kept secrets. Updated for modern living yet still proudly displaying its Victorian roots, every inch has been thoughtfully considered. The renovated kitchen is anchored by a massive granite island perfect for entertaining, complemented by stainless appliances and ambient lighting. Comfort has been elevated with mini-split AC units in every room and radiant heated flooring throughout the main house, ensuring year-round enjoyment in every season. Outside, the private yard boasts lush perennials and mature landscaping that sets the scene for lazy afternoons and al fresco dining on the porch. Currently used as an investment, this home consistently generates upwards of $40,000 per year while still allowing for summertime use by the owner. Come see how you can make this your new home, money-maker, or both! ~ Currently rented from 9/08/2026 until 5/20/2027 for $3,000/month ~
