Presenting 17 Dearborn Street, The Owen Greelish House. Located just three doors off Thames Street in the heart of Newport's iconic Yachting Village. This is a rare opportunity to own a property that blends historic charm, location, and untapped potential in one of the most walkable and vibrant neighborhoods in town.

Currently configured as a legal two-family, the property presents an ideal canvas for a single-family conversion. The layout includes a first-floor flat with two bedrooms and one full bath, while the second and third floors are a townhouse-style unit with the potential to expand further by dormering the top level. The home currently features separate utilities and in-unit laundry for each floor, along with a private, shaded backyard that provides a quiet escape just moments from the action. In a market where walkability, location, and lifestyle drive long-term value, this address is one to consider. Opportunities like this rarely come to market especially in such a prime setting.
