The “William B. Vernon House,” c. 1893, is a classic example of Newport’s historical Victorians located in the distinguished Kay/Catherine neighborhood. The home has been thoughtfully renovated and meticulously maintained throughout the years, with the most recent two renovations by Kirby Perkins. Vernon was a furniture craftsman who incorporated beautiful woodwork and parquet hardwood flooring throughout the home. An inviting sunroom welcomes you as you note the carefully restored original windows and new teak flooring and ceiling. The grand foyer is impressive with its cathedral ceilings, intricate woodwork, and fireplace. The first floor has a formal receiving room, a stately dining room with original built-ins, powder room, large open concept kitchen, gorgeous living room with gas fireplace, and a new mudroom leading you out to a spectacular private outdoor oasis with beautiful mature trees, custom fences, and a two-car garage with plenty of room for storage. On the second floor, there are two bedrooms that share one bath, a renovated primary suite offering a large walk-in closet with custom built-ins, an additional space perfect nursery/office, an updated bathroom with marble countertops and turret room that is being used as an office. The third floor has two additional rooms and a fully renovated bath w/ soaking tub and custom shower. This central location provides you the best of both worlds: privacy in a quiet setting, yet a quick walk to anywhere in Newport!
