Presenting 'Magnolia Cottage.’ Originally built in 1893, the front cottage retains the scale and craftsmanship of the era, while a significant 2010 addition brings modern functionality and flexibility.

The result is a residence that honors its architectural heritage while supporting today’s multi-generational lifestyle.

The address is in Newport’s historic Fifth Ward and the location offers proximity to Newport Harbor, King Park, the New York Yacht Club, Ida Lewis Yacht Club, and the restaurants and shops of downtown Newport on Thames Street. All amenities mentioned are within easy walking distance.

Inside, the home features four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and two first-floor flex rooms ideal for office space, guest quarters, or a library. A gas fireplace anchors the living room, and the elegantly updated kitchen provides a clean, efficient adjoining layout that brings cohesion between the interior living areas and the curated outside space. The primary suite is private and set apart from the main living areas and other bedrooms.

Outdoors, enjoy the privacy of a 8700+ sq/ft lot highlighted by a sprawling magnolia tree as the centerpiece and supported by the benefits of off-street parking, a private swim spa and outdoor shower, custom masonry, a built-in gas fire pit, and mature plantings. The backyard was crafted for entertainment and enjoyment and has played host to many summer soirees.

This is a rare opportunity to own a well-stewarded property in one of Newport’s most established and walkable neighborhoods.

45 Houston is well-suited for full-time living or a thoughtfully placed seasonal retreat.
