When I was in Newport Rhode Island last week, I saw this house for sale that I just knew must be very special inside. I especially love a transformation house and this one – an original shingle-style carriage house – does not disappoint!
Above is the street entrance of the house, which is right on a main street. Below is the real estate listing image of the front entrance – plus it looks so much better with greenery versus our New England springtime look that doesn’t look much different than winter.
And, below is the main show – the rear of the house.
Looking from the back through the front of the house. What a beautiful back patio!
Look at that gorgeous barn door in the image below.
The front hall has a brick inlaid floor and arched entry into the center of the house.
The bedrooms are a little bland as styled, but the spaces are pretty.
Personally, I think the bathroom is a little dated looking, but nothing that isn’t worth fixing considering how gorgeous everything else is.
Cute little boat-bed in the boys room.
Continuing with the nautical theme – including the shower curtain made from sails.
Another view of the front entrance.
The side of the house is just as gorgeous as the front and back.
And a big ole beautiful yard.
From the real estate listing: Meticulous restoration of a classic and authentic shingle-style carriage house. Sited along the boundaries of Ballard Park with beautiful woodland views. Five bedrooms—four with ensuite baths—stone walls, bluestone terraces, mature landscaping, and gardens. Absolutely turn-key. Close proximity to New York Yacht Club and Newport Country Club.
The house is on the market for $3.195Millon, which I think is kind of a steal for 6,200 sq. ft. in this location. Represented by Gustave White Sotheby’s International Realty.
The house needs you to work some magic. It is absolutely beautiful but the decorating is somewhat bland. I just love a shingle home and the house is gorgeous.
Totally agree Cathie! I’d love to dig my hands into this place! Thanks for your comment!
Beautiful Linda! Such a bright and happy space. (Everyone’s talking about Newport lately)
