18 Annandale RD Newport, RI 02840

Spacious, updated four-bedroom, two-and-one-half bath home in the Italianate style of the mid-1800s. Ideally located within walking distance of Easton's Beach/Cliff Walk, Bellevue Avenue, Salve Regina University and Downtown. Enjoy the serenity of its beautifully landscaped, private back yard, or enjoy your morning coffee and a good book on the spacious front porch. This is truly a special home with a remarkable history having been moved from a local estate onto its present foundation by a team of oxen in the 19th century. Period details abound, including high ceilings, crown moldings, bronze light fixtures, curved plaster walls, grand foyer and staircase that have all been lovingly preserved. The chef's Kitchen boasts authentic, leaded glass cabinet doors, gleaming pro range and hood, pecan floors, pantry, new stacking washer/dryer and ample island with prep sink, which together create a very functional entertaining space. The original marble fireplace in the dining room is complemented by a stunning bronze and alabaster chandelier. Off-street parking for three cars, fresh paint in-and-out, a newer roof and charming, ivy-covered storage shed. Basement systems include an updated electrical panel, two new oil storage tanks and a water booster pump to assure that those showers after a long day at the beach are the best! The attic is unfinished with lots of potential for expansion. Come tour this comfortable and inviting intersection of old and new.
