Prepare to fall in love with 17 Third Street, a modernized colonial gem in the heart of Newport's Point neighborhood. Blocks from downtown yet nestled on a quiet block, this home boasts a breathtaking backyard and stone patio, two-car parking and a miniature guest suite. Filled with light and charm, the home could be a magnificent summer escape or year-round residence, perfect for entertaining. The first floor is complete with a chef's kitchen, study, half bath, and a living room and dining room. Walk upstairs to a master bedroom retreat with walk in closet with laundry, and luxurious soaking tub, as well as a second bedroom with full bath. A cozy third floor with petite bonus bedroom and loft-like space. Each space within the home is tastefully appointed and ready to welcome you home with nothing but a suitcase in tow. The current owners of 17 Third purchased the property in 2019 and undertook extensive structural, mechanical and waterproofing work to bring this home into the twenty-first century. A brand-new foundation and full, waterproofed basement complete with two sump pumps and a dry well meant that the property made it through Newport's recent storms with a dry basement. Throughout the recent renovation, contractors tightened up all aspects of this property, added new hardwood floors to the first level and concluded the project with exterior repairs and a fresh coat of paint.
