Woodbine Cottage is located right in the center of Downtown Newport. The house was the famous residence to George Champlin Mason and his family. The house is drenched with history and of course is located in a very historic city known for its architecture. George Champlin Mason was Newport's first resident architect. He was self taught in Switzerland, France and Germany and when complete he brought his style and designs to Newport where he put down roots. He designed up to 150 mansions in Gilded Age Newport, paving the way and setting the standard for Newport. It has been the home to royalty, American aristocrats, and movers and shakers of the 20th century.

The house has been impeccably maintained as a luxury rental with modern amenities for decades. The whole house has been updated with new modern insulation, electrical, plumbing, boiler, hot water tank, heating/AC systems, as well as a professionally landscaped, English, garden by a local Master Gardener. The home also has 3 vegetable garden beds, patio with outdoor fireplace, 4 porches, a labyrinth, a koi pond, and frontage on a private street. It features a new, modern, Victorian kitchen with zinc and marble countertops, heated floors, fireplace and high end stainless appliances in the main kitchen and prep kitchen. The Swiss Chalet house with matching Swiss inspired tower is located 1 Block off Bellevue Ave, 3 blocks to the beach and 3 blocks from Bowens and Bannisters Wharf so you can walk anywhere. Top of the Hill neighborhood is one of the most desirable neighborhoods in town being centrally located so you could walk to everything AND in a neighborhood with beautifully maintained historic homes AND easy side street access in and out avoiding ALL the tourist traffic. You can't get much better than this. Housekeeping staff is willing to transfer to the new owners. Move in ready! Enjoy the Summer and Beaches Now!
