Property details
About 283 Ocean Ave
Introducing SeaScape- Sited high above Ocean Avenue the view from SeaScape is absolutely breathtaking, with a 270 degree view of The Atlantic Ocean, Prices Neck Cove, Green Bridge, SeaFair and Goose Neck Cove this private enclave is truly one of a kind. Designed to highlight the views and maximize privacy the four acre estate offers the best of Newport, Rhode Island. Constructed in 1988 and with 6 bedrooms and 5 1/2 baths the home was expertly built and has been lovingly maintained. The home is casually elegant and perfect to entertain your family and friends or for a simple night by the fire. Every room was thoughtfully designed to maximize views of the Atlantic and the surrounding environment as well as the expertly designed and maintained gardens. Aptly named the property is as much about its location to the "Sea" as it is its land"Scape". Meticulously planned and expertly maintained the gardens are mature and offer secret seating areas and tree lined paths all with a whimsical feel. The oversized heated salt water pool is the ideal spot to cool off on a hot summer day or watch all the boating activity off Ocean Drive. Located a short distance to Newport Country Club, Baileys, Hazards and Gooseberry Beach and only a few minutes to downtown this property is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
