Description

Steeped in Newport history, this remarkable circa-1750 property is believed by local tradition to be the first duplex in America, a rare and significant example of Colonial-era multifamily architecture. Built by brothers Joseph and William Cozzens, a hat maker and a wig maker, it retains an extraordinary collection of original period details. One of the "Operation Clapboard" original restorations, it was purchased in 1965 by the current owners, who lovingly restored it as a demonstration project, and it has appeared in many books, magazines, and newspaper articles. Distinctive among Newport Colonials, this Gambrel features 12 fireplaces with deft tile surrounds, generously scaled rooms with high ceilings, and original staircases with ornate period detail. Both sides have formal living rooms, dining rooms, and a study with built-in bookcases, plus two bedrooms and a full bath. 59 Farewell also has a finished third floor with two bedrooms and a bath. Outside, a charming secret garden enclosed on two sides by a tall paneled fence offers a private retreat, while dedicated parking on either side serves both residences. Easy access to downtown Newport and its amenities is a bonus. This is an exceptional opportunity to own a truly historic national landmark. However not in the Historic District, thus allowing the new owners flexibility with renovations. This property is being sold AS IS, pre-inspection report available.
