Description

Nestled in the heart of Newport's Historic Point neighborhood, Willows Edge, built in 1731 by Newport Quaker James Davis, has stood proudly at its corner for nearly three centuries. The finest artisans and craftsmen have meticulously restored this home. From the foundation to the exterior, every detail has been preserved and enhanced with unparalleled care. Offering five bedrooms and four and a half updated bathrooms across three floors, there is space for everyone. This home masterfully blends modern amenities with the charming elegance of the past. The custom-milled exterior, paired with wide plank interior floors and six fireplaces, exudes warmth and craftsmanship. Every inch of this property reflects a deep respect for its history, with no expense spared to ensure its longevity for the next 300 years. The garden edged and fenced back yard is an unexpected oasis to enjoy throughout the seasons. The lovely curb appeal of this property is enhanced by the brick driveway. Set in one of Newport's most sought-after and historically significant neighborhoods, you will be surrounded by beautifully preserved colonial homes and moments from the waterfront, shopping and fabulous eats. Willow's Edge invites you to experience this remarkable fusion of old and new. This is a home built to stand the test of time and is ready to welcome its next chapter.
