About This Home
HIGHEST AND BEST DUE FRIDAY AUGUST 14TH AT NOON: Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined dead-end street just off Oliphant Lane, this charming four-bedroom, two-bath home offers the perfect blend of peaceful living and everyday convenience. Centrally located on Aquidneck Island, you'll enjoy easy access to both Route 24 and downtown Newport, making commuting and exploring the island a breeze. Inside, beautiful hardwood floors run throughout the home, creating a warm and timeless feel. The living room features a cozy gas fireplace insert, adding both charm and comfort during the cooler months. With two bedrooms conveniently located on the first floor and two additional bedrooms upstairs, the flexible layout provides plenty of space for family, guests, or a home office, while mini-split systems offer year-round comfort. The enclosed sun porch provides additional living space and a space to enjoy views of the backyard. Sitting on just under half a acre, the oversized backyard is framed by mature trees that provide privacy and a picturesque setting. Additional features include a full unfinished basement for storage and laundry, a detached two-car garage with additional storage space, well water, and a generator with a 10-circuit transfer switch. This is the kind of home that feels welcoming from the moment you arrive—a peaceful setting in one of the island's most convenient locations.
