Newport, Rhode Island, is a small city with massive appeal for home buyers. It boasts impeccably preserved Gilded Age mansions, a legendary sailing scene, museums of every stripe, and lively shopping and dining — not to mention its famous namesake folk and jazz festivals. I recently came across a meticulously renovated home in one of Newport’s most sought-after historic neighborhoods that stopped me in my tracks. Thanks to the efforts of Doris Duke and The Newport Restoration Foundation, which saved some 50+ historic homes from demolition in the 1960’s, the Point neighborhood boasts the largest collection of colonial-era homes in the United States. Strolling the neighborhood today feels like stepping back in time, and the nearby views of the Newport Pell Bridge aren’t bad either. Have a look and see if you’re equally smitten with his historic Newport gem.
