16 Mount Vernon St, Newport, RI 02840

16 Mount Vernon, the address says it all. Tucked in between Kay and Spring, this sought after neighborhood is steps away from downtown and uptown shopping, dining, theatre, history and the waterfront. This prominent home features both modern and period design. The recently painted exterior accentuates the Original windows which fill the interior rooms with light. The driveway can accommodate 4-5 cars and ends with a free standing garage or storage structure. The shaded yard offers a very large brick entertaining area surrounded by stately trees and lovely ivy covered grounds. The impressive kitchen with gleaming white subway tile is a chef and entertaining dream! The expansive island with farm sink and wine fridge anchors the open living room. A wood burning stove is a terrific focal point to the sun-drenched living space. Formal front room features one of the five original fireplaces in the home, along with a detailed plaster ceiling, and interior window shutters. Radiant heat runs throughout. The master bedroom opens to separate dressing or seating area, and fully renovated master bath, beautifully appointed with large clawfoot tub, glass walk-in shower, and updated double vanity. Two additional second floor bedrooms share the same beautiful wide plank pine that runs throughout the home, and a second full bath. There's more where that came from, this colonial also boasts a full basement, and a third floor attic that can be converted to provide more livable space.
