Located in one of Newport's most coveted neighborhoods, The Solomon Southwick House is the only home on The Point that looks unobstructed, straight down a cross street to the harbor.

The 2nd level offers a primary suite with full bath & laundry room along with 3 additional bedrooms and a second full bath. The 3rd level offers 2 more bedrooms, a full bath and flexible living space. A driveway lines the right side of the house, with tandem parking for 3 large vehicles.
