Cute cape in Newport with a surprising amount of space, just minutes from downtown. Large yard and brick patio out back for those summer evenings, off street parking too.

The home has a newer roof, vinyl siding and many newer vinyl windows. There is a Bedroom and full renovated bath on the first floor. Large basement with lots of possibilities to add living space with a little work. Come see the potential of this great property.
