If you want a country setting close to town, come see this spacious ranch home located just past the Newport City line on 3.7 acres. The owners have spent the last couple of years turning this 1973 house into a bright, inviting home. Starting in the kitchen, where new countertops, lighting fixtures were installed, along with a stainless dishwasher to match the other appliances. The facelift was completed when the cabinets were painted a fresh white, with a contrasting slate blue color on the bottom half of the dining area walls topped with the same bright white above the chair rail. Filled with natural light, the living has bright white paint on the bottom, while a deep red color was chosen for the remainder, giving the large space a warm feel. The bathroom lighting and vanity with dual sinks were also updated, and a new tub will soon be installed. Finally, there are 4 bedrooms with good closet space and an office. The laundry is down the stairs just off from the 2-car garage. The other half of the lower level is a finished bonus space with a full bath, kitchenette & separate entrance, so there’s potential to use it as an office, gym, rental or in-law suite with proper permitting. Perennial beds line the front of the house, and mature maples shade the front deck. The back deck overlooks the gently sloping backyard area, and further back the property drops off before leveling out to a field. The 24x32’ detached garage with tall ceilings is permitted to be a repair shop.
