Description
“The Sarah and James Davis House” is a rare opportunity to own one of Newport’s few remaining pre-Revolutionary homes. This colonial, also called “Willow’s Edge” has been sensitively restored, retaining its historic charm but adding modern comforts. Throughout the three floors of living space, you’ll find wide plank chestnut flooring, multiple fireplaces several that have been converted to gas and all with the fireplace original surrounds that reflect the home’s pre- Revolutionary century origins. The heart of the home is the keeping room/kitchen, featuring a double beehive functioning fireplace. Off the keeping room is access to the teak deck perfect for a grill and small table and chairs. Step down from the deck with storage room to the bluestone patio surrounded by perennial gardens. The property is surrounded by a handsome wood fence on both the Second Street entrance and on Willow Street. There is a brick cobbled driveway and sticker parking. No flood insurance required.
Each of the three second-floor bedrooms include an en suite bathroom, while the third-floor bathroom serves the additional two bedrooms. Modern updates include central air conditioning, brand new on-demand heat and hot water, and a spacious, bright, and dry basement ideal for beach gear, wine storage, or a future home gym. Walk down Willow Street to the drift way and you can dip your toes, leave your kayaks and enjoy Newport Harbor year-round. Experience timeless elegance in the heart of Newport.
