Presenting 17 Dearborn Street, The Owen Greelish House. Located just three doors from Thames Street, 17 Dearborn puts you in the center of Newport’s vibrant waterfront district steps from world-class dining, boutique shopping, nightlife, and the harbor. This is a rare opportunity to own in one of the most walkable and high-demand locations in town. Currently configured as a two-unit multi-family home, the property offers flexibility for a wide range of buyers. Whether you're an investor looking for strong rental income, a second-home buyer seeking a base in the heart of downtown, or a homeowner interested in converting to a single-family residence or condominiums, the potential here is exceptional. The first-floor unit features two bedrooms and one full bath. The upper townhouse-style unit offers additional living space across two floors, with the option to dormer the third level to create a larger footprint. Each unit has separate utilities and its own laundry, and the private, shaded backyard provides a peaceful retreat in this downtown setting. In a market where location drives value, 17 Dearborn delivers on every level; proximity, potential, and upside. Opportunities like this in downtown Newport are few and far between.
