Relocated from Washington Street for its historical significance, the residence was thoughtfully restored under the direction of a Newport-based interior designer published in Architectural Digest, and is offered furnished, including the majority of its artwork, for a truly turnkey arrival. Spanning 2,676 square feet over three levels, the four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath home pairs period details with modern comfort. Wide plank chestnut floors, multiple fireplaces, a graceful curved staircase, are complemented by updated utilities and systems, including air conditioning. The kitchen features stainless appliances, red oak countertops, and a rare double beehive oven. A first-floor suite offers flexibility as a private guest retreat or main-level primary. Outside, the property's crown jewel is a beautifully landscaped private garden enveloped by mature trees, creating a lush, secluded sanctuary. It is an idyllic setting for morning coffee, al fresco dinners, and quiet summer evenings. A shed stores bikes and paddleboards, and a pebbled driveway provides off-street parking for two. Set in the heart of the Historic Point, just a block from the harbor and Battery Park and a short stroll to downtown Newport's shops and restaurants, with no flood insurance required. ## Location - **Address:** 81 2nd Street, Newport, RI 02840 - **County:** Newport - **Neighborhood:** The Point - **Coordinates:** 41.496895, -71.319884 - **Google Maps:** https://www.google.com/maps?q=41.496895,-71.319884 ## Listing Agent - **Name:** Eric Kirton - **Brokerage:** Lila Delman Compass - **Broker Phone:** 4018482101 - **Listing URL:** [View original listing](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/81-2nd-St_Newport_RI_02840_M44133-79751?f=listhub&s=SWMLSRI&m=1423599&c=propsimple) ## Photos ![81 2nd Street - Photo 1](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e1cbe0cda1e62dc6ba5c0dc3a276ef93l-f1446266565r.jpg) ![81 2nd Street - Photo 2](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e1cbe0cda1e62dc6ba5c0dc3a276ef93l-f1492990920r.jpg) ![81 2nd Street - Photo 3](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e1cbe0cda1e62dc6ba5c0dc3a276ef93l-f2372258214r.jpg) ![81 2nd Street - Photo 4](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e1cbe0cda1e62dc6ba5c0dc3a276ef93l-f223424656r.jpg) ![81 2nd Street - Photo 5](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e1cbe0cda1e62dc6ba5c0dc3a276ef93l-f3307709432r.jpg) ![81 2nd Street - Photo 6](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e1cbe0cda1e62dc6ba5c0dc3a276ef93l-f921259393r.jpg) ![81 2nd Street - Photo 7](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e1cbe0cda1e62dc6ba5c0dc3a276ef93l-f3633488085r.jpg) ![81 2nd Street - Photo 8](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e1cbe0cda1e62dc6ba5c0dc3a276ef93l-f1849815579r.jpg) ![81 2nd Street - Photo 9](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e1cbe0cda1e62dc6ba5c0dc3a276ef93l-f321681078r.jpg) ![81 2nd Street - Photo 10](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e1cbe0cda1e62dc6ba5c0dc3a276ef93l-f2248756762r.jpg) ![81 2nd Street - Photo 11](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e1cbe0cda1e62dc6ba5c0dc3a276ef93l-f1570317857r.jpg) ![81 2nd Street - Photo 12](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e1cbe0cda1e62dc6ba5c0dc3a276ef93l-f1708787883r.jpg) ![81 2nd Street - Photo 13](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e1cbe0cda1e62dc6ba5c0dc3a276ef93l-f2648984816r.jpg) ![81 2nd Street - Photo 14](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e1cbe0cda1e62dc6ba5c0dc3a276ef93l-f732958247r.jpg) ![81 2nd Street - Photo 15](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e1cbe0cda1e62dc6ba5c0dc3a276ef93l-f3534583232r.jpg) ![81 2nd Street - Photo 16](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e1cbe0cda1e62dc6ba5c0dc3a276ef93l-f1640586744r.jpg) ![81 2nd Street - Photo 17](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e1cbe0cda1e62dc6ba5c0dc3a276ef93l-f893187090r.jpg) ![81 2nd Street - Photo 18](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e1cbe0cda1e62dc6ba5c0dc3a276ef93l-f3996627258r.jpg) ![81 2nd Street - Photo 19](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e1cbe0cda1e62dc6ba5c0dc3a276ef93l-f1309390465r.jpg) ![81 2nd Street - Photo 20](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e1cbe0cda1e62dc6ba5c0dc3a276ef93l-f452596864r.jpg) ![81 2nd Street - Photo 21](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e1cbe0cda1e62dc6ba5c0dc3a276ef93l-f2925609594r.jpg) ![81 2nd Street - Photo 22](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e1cbe0cda1e62dc6ba5c0dc3a276ef93l-f2075020337r.jpg) ![81 2nd Street - Photo 23](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e1cbe0cda1e62dc6ba5c0dc3a276ef93l-f3077228343r.jpg) ![81 2nd Street - Photo 24](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e1cbe0cda1e62dc6ba5c0dc3a276ef93l-f2848236560r.jpg) --- **MLS#:** 1423599 | **Updated:** 2026-10-27 **Source:** listhub *Copyright © 2026 State Wide MLS of Rhode Island, Inc.
