Property Description
Nestled in the heart of Newport, Hammet's Cottage offers an inviting blend of coastal charm and modern sophistication. Just steps from Newport's celebrated restaurants, boutiques, waterfront, and world-class attractions, this beautifully renovated residence puts you at the center of it all while offering a private retreat to call your own. Completely reimagined in 2020 by a respected local builder, the home was thoughtfully designed for effortless year-round living. Central air provides a welcome escape on warm summer days, while bright, open living spaces create an inviting atmosphere throughout the seasons. The main level flows seamlessly between the living room, dining area, and kitchen, with a full bath completing this floor. Upstairs are two bedrooms with a shared half bath. The surprisingly spacious lower level features high ceilings, large windows, a comfortable den, and third bedroom ideal for guests, a home office, or additional living space. Whether enjoyed as a primary residence, Newport getaway, or investment property, Hammet's Cottage is a special opportunity in one of the city's most desirable and walkable locations.
