The "George Nightingale Durfee, Jr. House" is a classic, Colonial Revival. This UNFURNISHED property is located on the Newport/Middletown and embodies distinctive characteristics and defining details such as its symmetrical façade with central portico and pillars, and a veranda on the south and sun porch on the north sides of the house. Beyond the elaborate portico and front door, there is a wood-paneled vestibule that leads into the welcoming 24 ft. wide foyer with bridal staircase and original 5-tier crystal chandelier that has been beautifully restored. This home is an entertainer's dream with a formal living room with fireplace flanked by built-in cabinets and two sets of French-doors that lead to the veranda. Across the foyer, is the formal dining room with glass-enclosed display shelves and fireplace with gas insert. Major improvements to this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath house include a remodeled kitchen that includes appliances that are less than 5-years old, wet bar and laundry area. All bathrooms have been beautifully renovated, as well. The grounds of the property have been thoughtfully designed with multiple gardens, stone walls, bluestone walkways, marble cobblestones and a large fenced-in yard. Plenty of off-street parking and a 2-car garage. This stately property is conveniently located within minutes from Downtown Newport and Harbor, the Newport Bridge and Navy Base.
