Everyone (Even You!) Can Live in a Grand Home in Newport

One of Newport’s most famous and outstanding features is its collection of grand homes. Great stone mansions, heavily decorated Victorians and rambling Shingle Style cottages are to be found in surprisingly large numbers in various parts of the city.

Yes, some are museums and a few are still homes for descendents of the Golden Age families who built them. But many have been divided over the years into multiple units as apartments and since the mid-1980’s as condominiums. And this is where YOU come in! Priced between $300,000 and $3,000,000, there’s one to suit just about everyone.

Would you like the first floor with the original formal rooms with coffered ceilings, a marble fireplace and leaded glass windows?






Perhaps the second floor where exquisite bedrooms and sitting rooms have been turned into gracious living spaces?






How about a sunny spot in the eaves of a lovely Victorian in the Kay/Catherine neighborhood? You’ll be surprised to see almost 1,500sq ft of space up here.








And with each one, you’ll share a grand foyer, estate grounds and an impressive address with your fellow owners. Close your eyes and picture what life was like living in the WHOLE house!

What a nice perspective on these beautiful homes of Newport. It is truly a living museum that anyone can become a part of.
