14 Leroy Ave Newport, RI 02840

Old world charm and elegance. Privately sited on nearly two acres off Bellevue Avenue, this hidden sanctuary is a rare and unique offering. Grand spaces for formal entertaining and warm inviting rooms for quiet and privacy. The entry hall’s vaulted ceiling and arched doorways frame classically proportioned rooms with immaculate attention to detail. Elaborate plaster crown moldings and paneling are present throughout, including the great room with 20’ ceiling and marble fireplace. A pair of perfectly balanced portals with wet bar and garden door establish an organic flow into the library. Bookshelves encircle the retreat, with space above for a double-height gallery, studio, or additional bedrooms. A formal dining room is embraced by curved walls and apsidal windows with enveloping elegance and sweeping views of the lawn. The office, or den, is a private haven, surrounded by more built-in bookcases and a cozy reading nook. Upstairs, a circular landing and pair of anterooms further establish private spheres that separate two large primary en-suite bedrooms, one with a fireplace, one with a balcony. The separate mezzanine level serves an en-suite guestroom with its own balcony. A well-appointed, light-filled kitchen with a soaring ceiling accesses a stone patio for outdoor entertaining and dining, overlooking the park-like grounds. Mature specimen trees adorn this beautifully landscaped property. A premier Newport estate location, walk to town, harbor, Cliff Walk and beaches.
