Property Description
Built in 1850, the Merritt House has been thoughtfully renovated and restored - maintaining all of its historic charm, while adding modern amenities that today's buyer seeks. This classic New England Colonial exudes elegance and sophistication at every turn. As you enter the residence, you'll observe and appreciate the natural light, the open floorplan as well as the high ceilings throughout. The floors consist of white and red oak hardwood. The gourmet kitchen has a stunning reclaimed wood island, an Aga Stove, a wet bar and a sweet banquette with a gas fireplace. The dining area can comfortably seat 8 and the living room has built-in shelves with another gas fireplace, and French doors that open into a beautifully manicured yard. There is a powder room with laundry and a comfortable first-floor ensuite bedroom - a rarity for a home of this age! The second-floor primary suite includes an ensuite bathroom, an office, and a multi-purpose space with a built-in bed nook. The guest cottage is stunning with a kitchenette, a beautiful bathroom with penny tile, a bedroom with built-in bunk beds & a cozy seating area. The property has recently been re-landscaped, including a brick path from the brick herringbone driveway. Other features include a whole house water filtration system, plumbed in gas BBQ, new security system w/ cameras & all new phantom screens. This turnkey jewel on the Point is just two blocks away from Newport Harbor and a short stroll to the restaurants and shops!
