71 3rd St, Newport, RI 02840

This painstakingly restored school house, in the highly sought-after Point section of Newport, is walking distance to the water (while not being located in the flood zone) and to downtown Newport. The ultimate get-a-way for a relaxing weekend or a place to entertain friends throughout the year. The light-filled home boasts cathedral ceilings, oak floors and a chef's kitchen with every attention to detail. (1,330 sq. ft = 680 sq. ft of above ground living space and 650 sq. ft on the lower level) The property includes off-street parking, a large fenced-in garden, an outdoor shower and a Brazilian hardwood deck. In 2020, the entire property was painstakingly restored/rebuilt to boast many of the features of the original structure that had been lost through the years. Originally built in 1796 at the corner of Barney Street and Mount Vernon Street. It was the first integrated school house in Newport owned by schoolmaster Eleazor Trevett.
