13 Goodwin St, Newport, RI 02840

Better weather and good times are happening over on Goodwin Street! The Andrew J. Kirwin house was built in 1895 by this well-recognized local maritime family. Number 13 and the two abutting sister homes were constructed specifically to withstand stormy weather typically seen at sea and for the strict purpose of rental homes for sailors. This quaint cottage is cozy yet packs a punch with so many charming details. The eat-in-kitchen has similar attributes to a boat where every nook and cranny is accounted for along with creative drop-down leaves to expand counter space when needed. Gorgeous stain glass windows abound with the latest addition being the ivy green & sky-blue colored panes in the dining room that twinkle with sunlight. Gleaming hardwood floors (some wide plank) are located throughout the home including the first-floor bathroom. The main level has a nice ebb and flow between the rooms. Period details of French doors, glass doorknobs, and built in Curio. Convenient cork floor mudroom off the kitchen. Granite steps lead to a private fenced yard landscaped with blooming hydrangeas, stone patio, and outdoor shower. Small enclosed front porch leads to a vaulted ceiling foyer and staircase to a spacious landing, three bedrooms, Jack & Jill bathroom with tile floor, and access to the roof top deck. West facing views of Narragansett Bay. Waterfront access is close by. Solid rental history. Reasonable flood insurance is required. The owner's policy is transferrable.
