Popular TV shows like “The Gilded Age,” “Downton Abbey” and “Bridgerton” have us swooning over the finer things from the days of yore – including the architecture and décor style of homes.
Newport, Rhode Island was a booming socialite hotspot during the Gilded Age of the late 19th century and many of its extravagant mansions are still standing to this day. Authentic to this time period, a restored mansion dubbed “Quatrel” is currently for sale along historic Bellevue Avenue in Newport, right down the street from the famous Breakers Mansion.
Originally built in 1853, the Quatrel home was expanded and remastered in 1903 under famous architects Dudley Newton and Ogdon Codman Jr. Since then, it’s been impeccably restored to its original grandeur, yet has all modern amenities to complement the existing character. Intricate detail on walls and ceilings, gold fixtures, high ceilings and arched doorways are plentiful throughout.
The nine-bedroom, seven-bathroom estate is complete with a formal living room, formal dining room, library, solarium, elevator, and a carriage house for guests. At the heart of the home lies a spacious renovated kitchen and great room with French doors leading outside.
The property also boasts expansive gardens and a recently added pool. This iconic location is just a short stroll to multiple beaches, Newport’s famous Cliff Walk and the Ocean Drive Historic District.
Edith Cushing, an agent with RE/MAX Professionals in Newport, holds the listing for the rare gem set at $7,750,000 USD.
“It is an honor and a pleasure to represent this exquisite property,” says Cushing.
