Description

The Edward Jones House is a circa 1850's quintessential Newport cottage as it is framed by a classic white picket fence and a handsome stone entrance that creates an inviting first impression. Inside, hardwood floors and an abundance of windows fill the home with natural light, highlighting its historic character and warm, welcoming atmosphere.

The residence offers three bedrooms and one-and-a-half baths, with comfortable living spaces designed for both everyday living and weekend escapes. Thoughtfully fitted custom storm windows provide added comfort and efficiency during New England's cooler months while preserving the home's timeless appeal.

Outside, the wraparound garden with a brick walkway from the front gate that leads to the patio that offers a picturesque setting for outdoor entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying the coastal breeze. Off-street parking for one vehicle is a valuable convenience, and the exceptional location places you within easy walking distance of Newport's celebrated restaurants, shops, harbor, historic landmarks, and cultural attractions.

A true Newport gem, this charming home embodies the character, charm, and walkability that make living in the city by the Sea so special.
