The Newport, with a handsome brick and wood exterior, is a country-style house with a versatile floor plan that can be adapted to a variety of lifestyles. With the master suite and guest accommodations on the first floor, the two-bedroom second level may be closed off when not in use, made into an apartment for aging parents or serve as the sleeping quarters for teen or college age children living at home.

A covered front porch adds to the comfortable flavor of this beautiful home. Plenty of room here to sit on a porch swing and enjoy a pleasant summer evening.The vaulted entry, open to the second floor, accents the spacious feeling and ease of movement throughout this design. To the left of the entry, a small home office is available for unfinished work brought home or for keeping up the household accounts. Shelf space is adequate and windows on three sides admit the sunlight.

As a buffer between the home office and the master suite, a full utility comes complete with sink and pull-down ironing board. Linen storage is located in the hallway. Luxury abounds in the master suite. It has a large sleeping area with a built-in window seat nearby and private access to a small deck complete with a spa. Other amenities include a skylit walk-in closet, raised tub with skylight, glass block shower, twin basins, linen storage and a home security system. Across the hall is a guest suite that will please friends and relatives spending the night. It has a private bath, closet space and can also access the spa. A half bath is located in the hallway behind the staircase.

The living room, with fireplace and wood storage box, is open to the second floor. The configuration of the walk-through kitchen allows a busy household to prepare and serve meals with ease.
