RARE HISTORIC NEWPORT COMPOUND FEATURING AN 1803 INN, AN AWARD-WINNING BARN & COTTAGE COMES TO MARKET

The Samuel Durfee House presents a rare offering that brings together a circa 1803 inn, an award-winning barn residence, and a separate cottage on one property, creating one of the city's most distinctive real estate opportunities.

Located in Newport's coveted Yachting Village, the compound includes three architecturally significant buildings on an unusually large land footprint for the neighborhood.

At its center is 352 Spring Street, an English Federal Period inn built in 1803 featuring five historically appointed guest rooms and a rare Transient Guest Facility license, allowing for legal short-term rentals.

Also included is a meticulously restored three-bedroom, three-and-one-half-bath barn residence, recognized with a 2016 Doris Duke Historic Preservation Award for its exceptional preservation, along with 9 Bowery Court, a charming two-bedroom, one-and-one-half-bath cottage situated on its own separately taxed parcel.

For the past 28 years, the property has been thoughtfully maintained and carefully preserved by its current owners, Michael and Heather de Pinho, with substantial investments made in its infrastructure, mechanical systems, exterior components, and long-term stewardship. 

The Samuel Durfee House is also not subject to Historic District Commission review for exterior alterations, an uncommon distinction for a property of this significance in downtown Newport.

"Finding three historic buildings offered together in the heart of downtown Newport is extraordinarily rare," said Tyler Bernadyn, Broker/Owner and Real Estate Consultant with REMAX Results. "The Samuel Durfee House offers the opportunity to own not only a remarkable property, but an important piece of Newport's architectural and hospitality history. Whether envisioned as a private family compound, boutique hospitality property, or legacy investment, it's the kind of offering that comes along only once in a generation."

The compound includes off-street parking for more than ten vehicles, including an attached garage, and is located just moments from Bellevue Avenue, the International Tennis Hall of Fame, Newport Harbor, Thames Street, and many of Newport's most celebrated restaurants, shops, and historic landmarks.

Listed for $4,500,000, the Samuel Durfee House represents a unique opportunity to become the next steward of one of Newport's most distinctive downtown properties.
