INTERIOR HIGHLIGHTS:
The elegant black and white marble tiled two story entrance foyer graciously welcomes you to this exceptional residence.

This great room also includes a spacious dining area with a wall of windows offering sparkling water views.
The open floor plan gourmet eat-in kitchen was specifically designed such that one can enjoy the water views when preparing a meal. The kitchen features high-end stainless steel appliances as well as a spacious island with a built-in sink, wine refrigerator, and ample space for bar stool dining. The white custom cabinetry and white marble countertops create an incredible sense of light and space.
The den situated off the kitchen is casual and cozy yet refined with its exposed beam ceiling and large fireplace. It is situated to offer fabulous southerly water views, which at night are accented by the distant sparkling lights of Newport Bridge. Off the den is a delightful porch with its own fireplace.
