19 Xavier Ter, Newport, RI 02840

The most whimsical secret garden in town! Have fun tinkering in the backyard with your flower pots, art projects, or just relaxing on the south facing brick patio while soaking up the sunshine. The private, mature landscaped west facing yard is the prefect setting for entertaining, casual cookouts, or hanging in the tree hammock reading your favorite book. Stone patio and walkways, side gates, corner lot, and slat fencing create a little oasis ideal for even the family dog! All located in a quaint neighborhood off the beaten path of traffic yet in walking distance to the beach, Easton's Pond, and downtown Newport. This pristine one level ranch has an open floor plan, wood burning stone fireplace, dry bar, and sitting room. Convenient first floor laundry with a full bathroom. Bright & cheery eat-in-kitchen with lots of cabinetry and counter space. Partially finished lower level has a home office, guest room, powder room, additional storage, and second means of egress. The integral high ceiling one car garage is spacious and includes a separate workshop located in the back. This workshop was previously used for making pottery. New roof, fresh paint, newer windows, laminate and ceramic flooring, and the most adorable front entryway feels cozy & inviting. The quiet sound of springtime along with the distant rolling surf puts this house on the map. Great starter home, second home, or poster child for downsizing, this maintenance free home is a little piece of paradise.
