This sprawling Dover Shores mid-century courtyard-pool home features Newport Center and Back Bay views, having been lovingly crafted and cared for by the same owners for 46 years. Whether you simply update paint and flooring, gut and reconfigure, or re-build from scratch, your canvas is an over-sized 11,250 sq. ft. end-of-row plot on a single-loaded street at one of the most elevated and ocean-close locations in all of Dover Shores. As it sits, you can gaze at the Back Bay, Newport Center, the mountains, and enjoy the fireworks from the Dunes on the 4th. A second story addition would afford you panoramic bay and ocean views. There are 4 bedrooms, two of which face the pool and share a jack and jill bathroom, as well as the master retreat which boasts sit-down bay views. The living and formal dining rooms surround a fireplace and both share pool and bay views, depending on which way you turn! There's also a casual dining area off the remodeled kitchen and a family/media room right by the pool. Your indoor/outdoor living is possible by way of French doors and sliders throughout the home. You're a short walk or bike ride to the Newport Aquatic Center and your private neighborhood beach with a weekly summer BBQ, and just steps to dining and entertainment on Westcliff/17th St. Are you ready to be the new owners of the house where everyone wants to be? Or, maybe you prefer to simply close the front gates and enjoy the privacy of your enclosed compound?
