About this House

The Bigelow Carriage House, located in The Point, is an early commission of Charles McKim. McKim's work includes the original Penn Station, the West Wing of the White House, Newport's Tennis Hall of Fame and numerous other national landmarks. McKim, Mead and White are recognized for making important contributions to American architecture and credited for creating "the shingled cottage vernacular" that defines the homes of coastal New England. The shingled exterior of the home is nearly identical to its original design and is surrounded by climbing roses and flowers. The interior has been completely remodeled and features sunny rooms, top of the line finishes and open, well-designed spaces. Rooms on the main floor fan off a wide corridor. The living room has a stone fireplace, 12 foot coffered ceilings and opens to a professionally landscaped patio that serves as private outdoor living space. The custom kitchen was designed for function and living, a blend of top-of-the-line equipment and cabinetry with copper and stone finishes. A study with fireplace, powder room and separate dining room complete the first floor. There are three ensuite bedrooms on the second floor including the large master suite with French doors to a sunny outdoor terrace. The third floor is light filled from a windowed turret and features two additional bedrooms, one queen plus and a custom mahogany ship's bunk room and bath. Walk to all that Newport has to offer from this lovely, turn-key home.

    "It’s a lovely neighborhood. Mainly an older crowd, not too many young children. Very dog friendly, and friendly in general. All colonial homes, the owners take great care of their properties. "

    "I used to live nearby and work in the historic district of Newport. I cannot recommend the Point as a great place to live and Willow Street in particular. It is not in the flood zone and is a few feet away from a driftway overlooking the Goat Island lighthouse"
