Description

Rarely does The Point offer this combination of scale, land, parking, and flexibility. Set on an oversized .19-acre lot with six off-street parking spaces, 12 Poplar Street is a beautifully renovated 4,012-square-foot residence with a compound-like configuration just moments from the harbor, waterfront parks, and downtown. The bright main residence features high ceilings, hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and a well-appointed kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, marble countertops, and walk-in pantry. The first-floor primary suite offers an en-suite bath, walk-in closet, and enclosed front porch. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms, three full baths, and a second living area. The third-floor cupola provides flexible space for an office, studio, fitness area, or guest space. A large basement offers ample storage. Beyond the main residence, a private apartment with its own entrance and 12 1/2 Poplar Street, a detached one-bedroom, one-bath cottage with independent heating, electric, and water, add versatility. The cottage has a long history of rental use and offers space for guests, work, studio use, or rental use, subject to applicable regulations. Landscaped grounds, generous parking, and an unusually large lot create a rare sense of space in The Point. Whether envisioned as a distinctive Newport residence, compound-like retreat, or property offering multiple possibilities under one roof, 12 Poplar Street is a rare opportunity in The Point.
