About this home

Welcome to 52 Bliss Road, located just off trendy Broadway in Newport, RI. This classic 1940s cape has been beautifully updated but still holds its historic character. Recent upgrades include a new kitchen, updated bathrooms, fully painted interior and exterior, as well as refinished hardwood floors. Don't let the size fool you, this property has a 1900 sq ft footprint with four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and an additional space perfect for a home office, laundry room (hookups already in place), or a large walk-in closet. Situated on a private, double parcel lot, 52 Bliss is close to tennis, fresh water, and the bridge while just about one mile to downtown Newport and the Cliff Walk/First Beach.
