SWANHURST MANOR HOUSE

Welcome to iconic Bellevue Avenue in Newport, Rhode Island, once the summer playground of America's wealthiest families, including the Vanderbilts and the Astors, and home to “Swanhurst Manor House,” a historic 6-bedroom haven nestled at the heart of a secluded 1.5 acre sanctuary.

Fringed by lush landscaping and towering trees, which offer an unrivalled canopy of privacy, this classic Italianate residence was one of the first of 12 Newport Mansions built in this sought-after seaside resort and yachting town. This treasured 1851 heirloom of America’s Gilded Age of Architecture now invites you to indulge in its old world craftsmanship and timeless appeal.

This grand 9,000-square-foot Manor House showcases the grace and charm of a bygone era. Period features include ornate moldings, soaring ceilings, pristine hardwood and parquet floors and a total of 10 fireplaces throughout its almost 9,000-square-foot floorplan.

The sumptuous entry hall sets the tone for enduring elegance. You’ll relish the opulence of the double living room, one of several elegant parlors, the exquisite detail of the formal dining room, and the modern touches of the gourmet kitchen.

Sunlights streams through the windows in the splendid master suite, and the remaining five spacious bedrooms all evoke a nostalgic glimpse of days gone by. The five and a half bathrooms also are plush and well appointed, and the sundrenched, landscaped grounds embrace the estate. Linger under the covered patio and survey the meticulously maintained gardens.

You’ll also benefit from updated systems, including central air, parking for up to 10 vehicles, as well as an executive office.

Perfectly positioned on the region’s most prestigious street, within close proximity to downtown Newport, you’re just footsteps from boutique shopping, beaches, restaurants, cafes and yachting precincts.

Move straight in and indulge in the time-honored luxury of this restored and revered Rhode Island estate. Schedule your private showing by calling the listing agent today.
