The Victorian-style home, located on a corner lot, was completely renovated prior to the sale, the real estate firm said.
The two-story home with a finished attic comes with an in-ground pool, a 400-square-foot wooden deck and a detached 325-square-foot garage. The home features natural gas heating and central air.
The home was most recently valued by Newport property assessors in fiscal year 2024 as being worth $1 million, according to the city’s online property tax evaluation database. Of that total value, $606,700 was attributed to the property’s 0.24 acres of land.
The buyers were represented by Kylie McCollough, sales associate of Mott & Chace. The sellers were represented by The Hadfield Group, of Hogan Associates Christie’s.
According to the warranty deed, a public record of the sale, the home was sold by Cody’s Investments LLC, a Rhode Island limited liability company. The property was purchased by David Smith and Jessica Smith, of Portsmouth, according to the deed.
