Description

A grand two-family residence in the heart of Newport's Historic Hill, 16 Sherman offers approximately 3,600 square feet of living space with six bedrooms and three full baths.Its scale, private outdoor areas and exceptional walkability create a rare opportunity for owner-occupancy, or investment in one of Newport's most desirable neighborhoods.

A private, mature garden and brick patio provide secluded outdoor spaces for dining, entertaining and daily enjoyment. The third floor is a completely separate apartment.Its bright, modern design offers a striking contrast to the traditional residence below.The apartment also enjoys its own private outdoor spaces: a west-facing balcony with views toward the Pell Bridge and Newport's spectacular sunsets and its own outdoor garden patio. Recent improvements to the property include a new roof, updated electrical systems, professionally engineered foundation reinforcement and extensive landscaping.Off-street parking for two cars and an EV charger add everyday convenience. A distinctive Historic Hill property offering two private residences, separate outdoor retreats and the freedom to experience Newport largely on foot.
