Sited atop one of the highest points in Newport, The Bird House was built with state of the art technology, design and materials from geothermal heating and cooling systems to exquisitely crafted details and top-of-the-line amenities. A soaring two story entrance hall and living room with floor to ceiling stone fireplace welcome with elegant wood paneling in extraordinary detail, inspired by the architecture of several historic properties. Many rooms enjoy panoramic coastline views, while others look upon dramatic rock outcroppings and lovely gardens. No expense was spared to create a beautiful sancutary using all that current building standards can provide, including Tischler custom windows and doors, 3 stop elevator, radiant heated floors, 3 phase 400 AMP electrical service, whole house generator and exquisite landscaping.
