With limited yard work, this home is an ideal condo alternative walkable to everything Newport has to offer.
The Point, located between Newport Harbor and Washington Square, is a historic and waterfront Newport neighborhood with cobblestone lanes and Colonial-era streetscapes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Thames Street–Farewell Street corridor, where brick sidewalks meet a tight run of galleries, coffee counters, and small dining rooms. Brick Market Place and the Newport Art Museum act as cultural pillars, with White Horse Tavern adding a long-running local table. Compact blocks of 18th-century wood-frame houses and pocket gardens define the architecture. Waterfront paths and working wharves keep the setting maritime. A short walk leads to the shops and museums around the harborfront.
