This private retreat has been designed around the way families want to live today, together, with plenty of space to spread out. Set far back from the road, bordered by a corn farm and surrounded by mature landscaping, this property offers remarkable privacy just minutes from local beaches, award winning golf, and the excitement of Downtown Newport. Completely renovated with high end finishes throughout, this home features an open layout filled with natural light. Centered around a gourmet kitchen with premium appliances, energy flows naturally into the spacious living room with gas fireplace, large dining room and massive mahogany deck perfect for indoor/outdoor entertaining. A quiet sitting room and beautiful half bath complete the 1st floor. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a private retreat with a stunning bath including a double vanity, soaking tub and walk-in shower. 2 more bedrooms and a beautiful bath round out the second floor. The in-law suite features a gorgeous kitchenette, full bath, laundry and rooftop deck, providing parents, adult children or guests their own sense of privacy while still being connected to the home. Outside, the fenced backyard becomes its own private escape with a gunite pool and spa, large patio, deck and side yard. Enjoy beautiful sunsets and one of the best views in town for the Escobar Farm fireworks from the pergola observatory. A two car garage and large unfinished basement provide exceptional storage and room for future expansion.
Downtown Portsmouth, located between Bristol Ferry Road and the Sakonnet River, is a coastal and civic Portsmouth neighborhood with a working waterfront feel and a low-slung village streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Portsmouth Town Hall and the West Main Road corridor, where local eateries, marinas, and everyday services cluster in a steady daytime rhythm. The Portsmouth Free Public Library anchors community life with programs and quiet reading rooms. The Portsmouth Arts Guild adds a studio-and-gallery pulse in a historic setting. Architecture leans toward classic New England forms—colonial-era references, shingled houses, and practical commercial buildings—set against salt air and open sky. Side roads lead to boat ramps and shoreline views that shape daily routines.
