Now, Seaview Terrace is on the market, complete with 7.64 acres, 44,000 square feet, 29 bedrooms, and more than 450 windows.
The asking price $28,500,000.
“You're not going to get another opportunity, likely in the near future, to acquire an estate like this. With just under eight acres and you're between Ruggles and the Cliff Walk,” said Marielle Clair of Stay Newport, who is the listing agent.
The property has a remarkable history that includes the family of a New York Governor, the backdrop for the Dark Shadows TV show, and much more.
“I am a local Newporter. Our family's been here for six generations. My husband's also six generations into Newport, probably more. And so I live about a block from Seaview. My husband and I have been together since we were 15 at Rogers High School,” added Clair.
It is all local in Newport.
