Overview

A rare residential compound hidden away on Historic Hill, the Edward Hammett House delivers an unparalleled blend of historic heritage and sophisticated coastal luxury. Offered fully furnished and entirely turnkey, this exceptional property pairs a meticulously modernized historic home with a striking, detached contemporary guest studio to create a private downtown sanctuary. The main residence showcases craftsmanship around a dramatic central brick chimney, which anchors four fireplaces two thoughtfully converted to gas and two preserved as striking decorative focal points. Original wide-plank pine floors, exposed timber beams, and period woodwork contrast beautifully with an inviting, open-concept living pavilion boasting soaring cathedral ceilings. Designed for effortless modern living, the interior features an updated chef's kitchen with a walk-in pantry, newer baths, first-floor laundry, central air, and a high-efficiency gas heating system. Just across the courtyard sits the 2019 detached cottage, a studio retreat complete with a built-in bed, lounge, full modern bath, and independent mini-split HVAC. The fully fenced grounds offer a secret-garden oasis of mature greenery, complete with a classic New England outdoor shower and extra storage. Enjoy a coveted neighborhood, all while being just steps from Newport's premier harbor front, world-class sailing, and vibrant dining district.
