This week's featured home is a cottage named "The Enchanted Cottage," and a walk around the property and inside the tastefully appointed and designed inside could explain the reason behind the name.
Located in the Coggeshall neighborhood, this three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath cottage isn't short on space, style or comfort.
With 2,273 square feet of living space, a 9,700 square foot lot and modern and updated interior, the house is move-in ready without compromise.
Located within footsteps of Bailey's Beach and the Cliff Walk, this house looks like a place for retired professionals to settle down, or a family with one or two children looking for a place to call home next to a Land Trust property.
Outside, the shingles and classic cottage architecture speaks to the coastal and colonial history of Newport. Inside, the hardwoods, numerous windows and fine woodwork and detailing brings a touch of class without pomp or pretense.
Taxes land on the reasonable side for Newport at just $5,900 per year.
The house was built in 1948.
