Property Description
Once the home and workshop of renowned Newport cabinetmakers John and Thomas Goddard, 81 Second Street blends remarkable historic character with a sophisticated contemporary sensibility. Relocated from Washington Street for its historical significance, the residence was thoughtfully restored under the direction of a Newport-based interior designer published in Architectural Digest, and is offered furnished, including the majority of its artwork, for a truly turnkey arrival. Spanning 2,676 square feet over three levels, the four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath home pairs period details with modern comfort. Wide plank chestnut floors, multiple fireplaces, a graceful curved staircase, are complemented by updated utilities and systems, including air conditioning. The kitchen features stainless appliances, red oak countertops, and a rare double beehive oven. A first-floor suite offers flexibility as a private guest retreat or main-level primary. Outside, the property's crown jewel is a beautifully landscaped private garden enveloped by mature trees, creating a lush, secluded sanctuary. It is an idyllic setting for morning coffee, al fresco dinners, and quiet summer evenings. A shed stores bikes and paddleboards, and a pebbled driveway provides off-street parking for two. Set in the heart of the Historic Point, just a block from the harbor and Battery Park and a short stroll to downtown Newport's shops and restaurants, with no flood insurance required.
