Rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully restored historic colonial home with spacious open living, kitchen and dining rooms plus a three-car garage with ample parking. This circa 1750 stunning Colonial Federal Home was once owned by confectioner William "Billy" Bottomore and Michele Corne. The home includes five fireplaces including the original "kitchen" fireplace in the living/great room with beehive oven and wood burning stove in the kitchen. Meticulously restored with expanded and renovated kitchen and primary bathroom. The expanded eat-in kitchen features a large island and stainless appliances. Historic details such as original wide plank pine floors are mixed with modern conveniences such as media center, butler's pantry/laundry room and central air. Three detached garages with electric doors can be operated remotely. Property exterior areas are enclosed by new fence/gates plus electric double entrance gates to the driveway/garages. Electric Vehicle (Level Two) charging outlet is located near driveway. Sunny corner location with open space around the house allows for maximum natural light. There are peeks of Newport Harbor from the top floor. Located in the heart of Newport near an impressive number of restaurants, shops, museums, and parks.
