Summary:

STAY Newport proudly presents Better Together- From its Portsmouth hillside, this coastal cottage opens to a rare sweep of Narragansett Bay’s East Passage, from Prudence Island to Bristol Harbor and the red barns at Carnegie Abbey. The 4,260-square-foot home has a classic New England profile, with three levels of classic seaside interiors and nearly equal outdoor living space. A screened main deck frames sunset dinners, while the lower level has a native stone fireplace beside the pool table with surround A/V. While outdoor space has a built-in grilling station and hot tub.



The Space:

The main level brings the water into daily view without making the house feel overly formal. The kitchen and dining area connect with the bay-facing living room, giving guests an easy central place for meals, planning the day, or returning from time on the coast. Light interiors keep the seaside character present throughout the home, while traditional New England detailing gives the cottage its sense of place.



The bedroom layout works especially well for larger groups because it spreads sleeping space across the home. A queen suite on the lower walkout level sits near the entertainment area, while the ground level king suite offers privacy on the main living floor. Upstairs, another queen suite is joined by two queen bedrooms with single trundles and a four-single bedroom for flexible group sleeping.
