Property Description
The Hawkhurst estate was built in 1882 by architect Dudley Newton. In 1929 the estate was reimagined as four separate homes, one of which is 68 Kay St. This Queen Anne style home features the original estate's library as its great room. With hand carved coffered walls and ceiling. It also boasts a curved plate glass bay window and plate glass pocket doors that lead to the inviting semi circular porch. Just above on the second floor, a smaller semi circular balcony is shared by two generous bedrooms. 2 more bedrooms and 2.5 baths complete the second floor. The third floor has 2 bedrooms, a full bath and walk in storage. Updates include a recent roof, gas fireplace, generator, renovated kitchen and baths. There is a two car garage, fenced in yard with a patio and raised garden bed. This 6 bedroom, 4.5 bath Gilded Age home in the historic Kay/Catherine neighborhood is within close proximity to Bellevue Avenue, Newport's waterfront and Broadway.
