Property Description

America's First Resort. The City by Sea are just a couple Newport descriptions. We think of it as among Rhode Island's best features. And the best part of Newport is Twenty-Six Franklin Street a true rare offering in the heart of Downtown, where timeless charm, modern luxury, and investment potential come together under one roof. The private two-bedroom, two-bath residence spans two levels above the harborscape, creating the feeling of a coastal sanctuary. Thoughtfully designed, it features light-filled living areas, a well-appointed kitchen and dining space, and comfortable accommodations ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Sitting atop of it all is your private rooftop deck an extraordinary rarity in Newport offering sweeping views of it all, perfectly suited for morning coffee, sunset gatherings, or evenings under the stars. Whether enjoyed as a primary residence, a vacation retreat, or a proven rental property, this home delivers both comfort and versatility. On the street level, the property includes a charming retail storefront that has thrived for more than a decade. With steady foot traffic from Newport's vibrant downtown, this flexible commercial space offers opportunity for continued retail use or future reimagining. Steps from Thames Street, the bustling waterfront, and Newport's world-class restaurants and shops, Twenty-Six Franklin combines lifestyle, luxury, and income potential in one of America's most iconic destinations.
