20 Narragansett Street is the address of this adorable cottage, built in 1900 and located in the Yachting Village near Fifth Ward. This property is just a stroll away from the waterfront as well as the famed Bellevue Avenue, Cliff Walk, and Salve Regina University. There are mixed residential properties as well as established businesses in the neighborhood. Kings Park, Morton Park, and Murphy Field are just a few of the open spaces/recreational areas near by. The house has approximately 1,316 square feet of living space situated on a 3,484 square foot lot. The inviting backyard has mature trees, landscaping, and a large cement patio. The property is enclosed by a fence for ultimate privacy. There is an extremely narrow driveway. The front of the house sits almost directly on the sidewalk, however, there is potential to have a small flower bed. Narragansett Street is a wide two-way street with plenty of parking on both sides. The exterior of the house has light green aluminum siding with an open front porch situated high off ground level. There are newer vinyl insert replacement windows throughout including the basement. As you enter the front door to the hall foyer, you encounter a lovely wooden staircase to the left. This space is large enough for a coat rack, narrow table for keys and mail, and a mirror. To the right through a large doorway is the living room which connects to the dining area. This is a wonderful open floor plan which allows for many different decorating opportunities and plenty of natural sunlight. The kitchen is in the rear north corner of the home and can be accessed through the hall foyer or the living/dining area. This eat-in-kitchen is large enough to accommodate a large table with chairs. The kitchen design is non-traditional. The sink is under the north facing window and to the left is the dishwasher. To the right of the sink but on the other side of the wall is the oven and further down that wall after the doorway from the dining area is the refrigerator. There are many white wooden cabinets for storage and additional room to add more shelving or a small pantry. The counters are laminate. There is a ceiling fan. The basement door is located in the far west corner. The large bathroom is located off the kitchen and has vinyl flooring and a shower stall. Off this area is the door to the backyard. There is a high cement stoop with approximately eight stairs. Hardwood floors abound throughout the home. There is a mixture of painted paneling, dry wall, and plaster. There are four bedrooms. One bedroom is quite small and the other three are good size with decent closet space. At the end of the long corridor is the bathroom with tile tub and shower. There are two bedrooms to the south and two bedrooms to the north. The roof line slants slightly in all the upstairs rooms. The heat is oil and there is a mixture of radiators and baseboards. The washer and dryer are located in the basement. There is a metal bulkhead walk out which allows for easy storage of bikes, lawn mower, and other large items. This home has been a rental property for a long time and is in need of updating. The location of 20 Narragansett Street in relation to all that Newport has to offer is superb. Whether this is owner occupied or an investment property, the neighborhood supports the value of upgrading this lovely turn of the century cottage. The potential is there!
