The Edward Hammett House, built in 1806, serves as a structural diary of early Newport history. This property is a masterful blend of Federalist-era craftsmanship and modern coastal luxury. By pairing the 18th century house carpenter aesthetic with a 21st century cottage, it offers a rare compound feel in one of the oldest historic neighborhoods. A massive center chimney expands to four focal brick fireplaces: a hallmark of New England design. Original features remain from the wide plank pine flooring, comprehensive wood paneling, exposed timber beams, cathedral ceiling, and authentic early doors and hardware. Despite its age, the home is optimized for modern living with an open living concept, updated kitchen, walk-in pantry, newer bathrooms, first floor laundry, central air, and new gas heating system. The detached cottage, completed in 2019, transforms the property from a single-family home into a private retreat. Constructed in a studio-style layout with a built-in bed, dedicated living area, full modern bathroom, and mini-split system. Double French doors lead directly to the intricate stone and brick patio. A true private oasis featuring additional storage, a must-have outdoor shower, and mature greenery. A fully fenced-in yard provides a secluded sanctuary in the middle of the bustling Historic Hill district. All within walking distance of shopping, fine dining, and world-class sailing. This turnkey property is being sold fully furnished just in time for summer!
