5 Bedroom House in Top of the Hill, Newport

Newport charm abounds in this 6,000 sq ft historical 1850's home. Whether your planned visit is for relaxation, family affairs, celebrations or simply enjoying the seaside city of Newport, this is the perfect home away from home! Appropriate for accommodating groups of family, friends, wedding parties, family reunions, corporate retreats, and more.
This historical home is located in the heart of Newport within walking distance of just about everything. The neighborhood is quiet, with many large residential homes, and some quieter inns or B&Bs. It is just a few blocks from historic Bellevue Avenue, the Tennis Hall of Fame, and the Viking Hotel.
Bowens Wharf with all of its history and famous restaurants including The Clarke Cooke House and The Black Pearl is only a 10 minute walk from the house.
The large chefs kitchen with butlers pantry is fully stocked with everything you would need to serve a simple meal or a celebration. Cookware, glassware, flatware, dishes, serving platters, etc... A collection of menus from local restaurants for delivery are in the kitchen, or the name of a private chef can be provided by Elizabeth, our property manager.
The beautiful dining room with its historic 1930's mural (depicting some of Newport's most recognizable landmarks), has seating for 10-12. The adjacent solarium has two cafe tables for morning coffee!
Each bedroom is its own oasis with its own Keurig coffee maker, ice bucket, and mini fridge, and all have private bathrooms.
Enjoy wine, cheese and crackers on the front porch and watch the passers bye, or take in the tranquility of the private rose garden in the rear yard with its 4 Adirondack chairs. Wedding parties have used the backyard for games ie: Croquet, Bocce... probably non of them really successful, but they had fun!
The City of Newport has very strict guidelines in order for us to retain a "special use permit" for short term rentals, and we abide by all of them. We have quarterly inspections for fire and all safety alarm systems. The City also requires that there is a property manager or owner living in the home year-round. Elizabeth, the property manager lives at 24 Kay with her 5lb Cavapoo, (Poppy) in a little, but adorable apartment located on the second floor with its own entrance at the rear of the house.
We look forward to welcoming you!

Summary: The house was in a great location with plenty of room inside for our group. Some of the bathrooms could have been a bit more updated but overall the house was clean and well-kept. Would recommend for a big group as each room has its own bathroom.

Summary: Can't say enough good things about this property. We had an amazing time on our girls' trip and a big part of that was the house. Great spaces in which to gather, a precious kitchen and dinette area, everything you could possibly need in said kitchen, a gracious host...we will definitely return!

Summary: This was perfect for our family celebration! Ten of us stayed in this beautiful, historic house in a great location - within walking distance of restaurants and shops. Based on property manager's recommendation, hired a private chef to provide meals - Nicole Craft at Craft & Willow. She was exceptional! Communication with property manager (Elizabeth) was excellent. Would definitely stay here again!

Summary: From the moment we discovered the booking to our delight upon arrival, we adored this beautiful home. A perfect setting for our girls reunion - we savored every room throughout our stay. The breakfast nook with comfy couches, the graceful living room, the stunning dining room surrounded with murals - and that was before we each retired to our own unique bedroom and bath. Our hostess Elizabeth and sweet dog were a joy with tips and recommendations. We soon felt like locals with a short jaunt to shopping and dining and the Cliff Walk. The house was the best part of our trip and we can’t wait to return!
