Property Description
The Solomon Southwick House - circa 1750 originally stood adjacent to Newport Harbor on Washington Street just across from what is now Safe Harbor Shipyard. The home was moved in 1864 to Third Street where it currently stands proudly facing the harbor. This house is the only home on The Point that looks unobstructed, straight down a cross street (Battery Street) to the water. At the end of Battery Street, is a lovely park used mostly by locals for summer afternoon picnics and swimming and watching sunsets year-round. This generously proportioned, historic residence has been elegantly restored over the years maintaining the sophisticated historic details like raised panel doors, wide pine flooring and eight fireplaces. Built with sturdy post-and-beam construction, this commanding Colonial has withstood 250 years yet remains beautifully intact. With 9-foot ceilings and a spacious flow, this home is ideal for entertaining especially in the whimsical gardens in back! This home does not require flood insurance and has tenants in place paying $4500/month plus utilities until 7/31/2021.
