Description
Newly offered at $2,498,888. There are houses to be admired, and houses made for living. 16 Sherman Street is decidedly both. This handsome 1856 Italianate in Newport's Historic Hill offers approximately 3,600 square feet, six bedrooms, three full baths and gracious spaces made for gathering. For years, its rooms have welcomed holiday dinners, summer cocktails, family celebrations and weekends filled with friends. Brick patios and mature landscaping create a private garden for long lunches and summer evenings, while the third-floor balcony offers western views toward the Pell Bridge. The legal two-residence configuration provides exceptional flexibility: enjoy the property as a substantial single-family home with private quarters for family and out-of-town guests, or use the separate residence for potential rental income. Everyone can come, everyone can stay-and still have a little space of their own. Recent improvements include a new roof, updated electrical systems, engineered foundation reinforcement and extensive landscaping. Two off-street parking spaces and EV charging add convenience. From this in-town location, Bellevue Avenue, the harbor, Thames Street, restaurants and shops are within easy reach. A house with history, its real story is the life that happens here-summer evenings in the garden, holiday tables surrounded by family, friends from afar in their own private space, and Newport just beyond the front door. Offers to be submitted by Tuesday 9/22 at 5 PM.
