Property Description
A remarkable piece of Newport history, beautifully reimagined for modern living. Dating to before 1750, the John Stevens House, or Penny Post House, is nestled in Newport's historic Point neighborhood. Its storied past includes Armisted Hurley, a successful African American painter, property owner and bank co-founder. The Penny Post name recalls a 19th-century resident said to have delivered mail on horseback for a penny. Comprehensively renovated in 2017, the residence blends historic character with modern sophistication. Exposed post-and-beam timbers, original fireplaces and gracious living spaces complement a chef's kitchen with quartz countertops and custom cabinetry. The second floor offers a spacious primary suite, 2 additional bedrooms and full bath, while a third-floor loft with full bath provides a private retreat. A distinctive 780 SF Guest House, originally built by Hurley in 1919, features soaring exposed timbers, an airy atrium, steel spiral staircase, loft bedroom, full bath and laundry. With updated plumbing, electrical, HVAC and water/sewer lines, 2 off-street parking spaces and a coveted location near Newport Harbor, Thames Street and downtown, 3 Bridge Street offers nearly 3 centuries of history, beautifully preserved for its next chapter.
