The Crown of the town of Newport. That''s what we named this charming Victorian. Built in 1927, the year that Babe Ruth was named the Home Run King, and Charles Lindberg was named Time Magazine''s first Man of the Year. From the sidewalk you''ll be enchanted by the picturesque plantings and tall flagpole adorning the front entrance. Step inside to large enclosed front porch and just imagine what you will do with this great space. Will you drop your keys and things before walking into the parlor? Inside the foyer notice the refurbished staircase, tall ceilings and original hardwood floors that continue into the living and dining room with electric fireplace. The original doors that once separated these rooms are stored in the basement. The kitchen features a built in breakfast nook with more windows overlooking the enclosed back porch, that you may want to serve as your mud room. The main level also has a powder room.
