Property Description
Built by brothers Joseph and William Cozzens, a hat maker and a wig maker, the house features 12 working fireplaces with original tile surrounds, generously scaled rooms with high ceilings, and original staircases with ornate period detail. Both sides offer formal living rooms, dining rooms, and a study with built-in bookcases, plus two bedrooms and a full bath. 59 Farewell also has a finished third floor with two bedrooms and a bath.
One of the original Operation Clapboard restorations, the house was purchased in 1965 by its current owners and lovingly brought back to life as a demonstration project, earning a place in countless books, magazines, and newspaper articles. Outside, a secret garden enclosed by a tall paneled fence offers a private retreat, while dedicated parking on either side serves both residences.
Not in the Historic District, the property offers flexibility with renovations and can be converted to two condos without zoning approval, a great investment opportunity.
Offered for the first time in over 50 years, this is a rare chance to own one of Newport's true landmarks.
Sold AS IS, pre-inspection report available.
