This historic location built in 1870 is called the "Sail Loft" with the name spelt in nautical letters above the front door, which we preserved. A neighbor down the street at that time constructed the cement bricks that were utilized to build this property. Early on, the bungalow was a "men only" tavern called the "Idle Hour" that had a secret knock at the front door and three tables where men would play Pitch while a bartender kept players well-served via kegs.
We love this neighborhood, and this property holds a special place in our hearts as it is incredibly unique. This is a safe location for a single person and ideal for those who want to walk around Newport and cross the street to the RIPTA station to get around town.
Some of our favorites... a walk to Goat Island in the evening to sit by the firepit, enjoy live music and marvel at the beautiful scenery. Across the street, The John Stephens Shop that was founded in 1705 creates beautiful one-of-a-kind inscriptions in stone. Around the corner, Jessica Hagen is as beautiful as her art gallery. Cottage & Garden, next door, has beautiful antiques and my father grew up in Bloomfield Hills, MI with one of the artists who works there. Down the street, Young Designs Floral Studio is the perfect place to purchase a bouquet to freshen things up. Every morning, we walk to Drift Cafe or Nitro for breakfast. There is so much more that we will send before check-in via our Newport document that we have been creating over decades with many, many ideas!
*Additional services like cleaning services and washer/dryer are available upon request.
