If you want to be in Newport’s Fifth Ward and have single level living, this is a rare opportunity. Currently set up as a four-bedroom home, if you only want three bedrooms, the former two-car garage can be easily converted back with the installation of garage doors, or just keep it is as is--a great room/studio that has sliders to a side patio. The driveway accommodates more than two cars. The property, sited on a corner double lot enjoys privacy and, when you sit on the 310-sq. ft. rear deck admiring the mature landscaping planted by the current owner, you feel like you are on vacation every day. There is good-sized primary bedroom with en suite bath and double closets, a modernized hall bath, a dining room off the galley kitchen, laundry room, and living room with fireplace. There are also two other bedrooms. A bit of tweaking and this 1970’s ranch could have a glamorous mid-century vibe. The heart of the house is the family room with its sliders to the backyard. The Narragansett Bay breezes billow the sheer curtains and reminds us of why we love “City by the Sea.” The shed in the backyard can hold all of your beach toys, bikes etc. This floor plan validates why ranches are a classic American design. 80 Connection has a newer roof, Pella windows, gas heat and 40 gallon gas hot water tank, 100 AMP service, and an attic for good storage. There is easy access to King’s Park and downtown Newport.
