Overview

Presenting 'Magnolia Cottage.' Originally built in 1893, the front cottage retains the craftsmanship of the era, while a significant 2010 addition brings modern functionality and flexibility. The result is a home that honors its architectural heritage while supporting today's multi-generational lifestyle. Located in the historic Fifth Ward, the location offers proximity to Newport Harbor, King Park, the New York Yacht Club, Ida Lewis Yacht Club, and restaurants and shops on Thames Street; all within easy walking distance. The home features four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and two first-floor flex rooms ideal for office space, guest quarters, or a library. A gas fireplace anchors the living room, and the elegantly updated kitchen provides an efficient adjoining layout that brings cohesion between the interior living areas and the curated outside space. The primary suite is private and set apart from the main living areas and bedrooms. Outdoors, enjoy the privacy of a 8700+ sq/ft lot highlighted by a sprawling magnolia tree and supported by the benefits of off-street parking, a swim spa, outdoor shower, custom masonry, built-in gas fire pit, and mature plantings. The backyard was crafted for entertainment and enjoyment and has played host to many summer soirees. This is a rare opportunity to own a well-stewarded property in one of Newport's most established and walkable neighborhoods. 45 Houston is well-suited for full-time living or a thoughtfully placed seasonal retreat.
