Grande victorienne sur le point avec un beau jardin

Hello! My name is Avram. I'm a professional software engineer, dedicated sailor, avid runner, and beginner singer/violist. I moved to Newport in 2001, and bought this house in 2012. I've managed to create a beautiful life for myself here and I love to share it with friends, family, and the public. Note: I am just a regular guy, this is not an investment property - it is my home. It is not a perfect cookie-cutter replica of a beach cottage, it is a real 120 year-old New England home. As mentioned in the description, it has tons of charm and character, and that does include some little quirks common to older homes - please ask for details if this concerns you! I live on the third floor during the summer, so renters can enjoy the 2nd floor uninterrupted by me. This is an unusual situation in Newport, in most cases short-term whole-home rentals are illegal here (note: be careful with other properties! Many short-term rentals in Newport are illegal, and if the owner gets caught, you could lose your stay at the last minute, and may not get a refund). I am allowed to do this because my place is "owner-occupied." Technically you are sharing it with me, but because of the layout, it is easy for me to give you your privacy.

This neighborhood, "The Point," is one of the most desirable in Newport. It is loaded with colonial - 1700's era - homes that are beautifully maintained and/or restored. It is almost like walking into a time machine as you walk through the neighborhood. It also has the best proximity to the water of any neighborhood in Newport, bracketed on one side by Narragansett Bay. It is also a very short walk to downtown, saving the burden of mid-city traffic and parking.

My place has a unique combination of easy access to water, downtown, and off-street parking. The large size for a two-bedroom, charm, gorgeous garden, back patio, shaded porch and balcony are all just icing on the cake (although a cake with that much icing would be too much...)
