"STONE HOUSE" located off of Newport's historic Ocean Drive is perched on the Prices Neck Peninsula between the Atlantic Ocean and Prices Neck Cove. Built in 1898 by famed photographer Ernest Walter Histed, the residence with its crenellated stone architecture has commanding ocean and cove views across beautifully manicured lawns with mature trees and gardens. The interior is flooded with sunlight from oversized windows and doors. The breathtaking views from inside include expansive views of the private beach with rocky outcroppings with the ocean to the south, and the tranquil cove teeming with sea birds including giant blue herons, osprey and egrets. The expansive grounds include the stately 7-bedroom main residence, a charming guest cottage with full bath and kithenette, an adjacent gym, and a free-standing infrared sauna. A private dock is tucked securely into the cove with two moorings. Offering exceptional privacy, this extraordinary waterfront property presents a unique and rare opportunity in one of the most sought-after areas of coastal Newport. ________________________________________
