Property Description

HIGHEST AND BEST OFFERS DUE BY 12PM ON MONDAY, JULY 27, 2026. Tucked away on a quiet dead-end street just one mile from Easton's Beach and the iconic Cliff Walk, this charming 3-bedroom cottage offers the perfect blend of coastal character, comfort, and convenience. The thoughtfully maintained home features a bright, inviting interior with a partially finished lower level that provides flexible space for a family room, home office, fitness area, or overflow guests. Recent capital improvements, including newer windows, efficient ductless air conditioning, and a new gas boiler, provide year-round comfort and peace of mind. Outside, the private fenced backyard captures everything buyers love about a beach house. Relax or entertain on the patio beneath the retractable awning, rinse off after a day at the beach in the outdoor shower, and enjoy a secluded setting perfect for summer gatherings or quiet evenings. Ideally located with easy access to downtown Newport, Middletown shopping centers, and the Newport Bridge, this move-in-ready cottage is equally well suited as a year-round residence, weekend getaway, or vacation retreat
