I really enjoy antique houses. This one is pretty nice. The wood work is lovely with great moldings and doors. The hardwood floors are beautiful and nicely done. Everything is freshly painted by a good painter. Herb has done a nice job decorating with attractive window treatments and artifacts of his lifestyle
The yard is pretty private with tall hedges an Effective screen. The back deck is great for cocktails and meals. There is a side deck, too.
The neighborhood is okay. Location-wise Newport isn’t so big thus everything in town is pretty close by. Second Beach was the prettiest though parking there is challenging.
I traveled with 3- adult children. My wife sat this one out. The beds were all comfortable so if that was ever in doubt all is good now. 2- double beds and a single in 3-bedrooms. That won’t work for everyone depends how big you are and who you are traveling with. I gave Herb a few suggestions such as clearing closets and drawers more. I stayed for a week and like to have more space. He is a fun guy to speak with and very open to feedback- I’m sure he’ll take the point. Same for the kitchen, which incidentally was adequately stocked with pots, pans, etc. we had a nice time there both in the house and in the area.
Antique houses don’t famously have a lot of outlets, bathrooms, etc.
