In Portsmouth, a Victorian built in 1869 comes to In Portsmouth, a Victorian built in 1869 comes to market offering history, flexibility, and a strong sense of place.

Priced at $650,000, the home spans 1,619 square feet over two stories, with seven rooms, three bedrooms, and two full bathrooms, all set on a 0.41-acre lot. The interiors reflect the craftsmanship of the period: hardwood floors with a warm patina, pocket doors that quietly separate rooms, and proportions that feel intentional rather than ornate.

The property extends beyond the main house. A paved driveway leads to a detached two-car garage, while a separate shed—large enough to accommodate a greenhouse and workshop—adds rare versatility. Whether used for gardening, growing, storage, or a personal retreat, the outdoor spaces invite creativity alongside everyday living.

Located on East Main Road, the home benefits from steady activity and visibility while remaining just minutes from downtown Bristol and Newport. The setting supports a range of uses, from a primary residence to a coastal escape or a blended live-work arrangement, without sacrificing character or convenience.

Offered at $650,000, 2952 East Main Road presents a chance to own a piece of 19th-century New England—adaptable, well-situated, and ready for its next chapter.

NEWPORT, R.I. — Less than a week after a fire heav NEWPORT, R.I. — Less than a week after a fire heavily damaged Newport’s iconic Castle Hill Inn, the historic waterfront resort has announced a phased reopening plan, signaling a faster-than-expected path back to welcoming guests.

Initially expected to remain closed for months, the inn will resume overnight stays at its Beach Houses and Beach Cottages beginning March 5. Until the main mansion reopens later this spring, operations will be based out of the Chalet, which was not affected by the fire.

Guests staying overnight will receive meals and refreshments from the Chalet, including breakfast, afternoon tea, and evening cocktails with light bites. Room service will also be available throughout the day. The boutique spa, The Retreat at Castle Hill by Farmaesthetics, will temporarily relocate to the Chalet’s upper level, and evening transportation will be offered for guests dining in downtown Newport.

All previously booked weddings will proceed as scheduled, according to the hotel. Event and wedding spaces are separate from the main building and will continue to be fully supported by the Chalet kitchen.
Castle Hill Inn plans to reopen its restaurants and bars, including The Lawn Terrace and Aurelia at Castle Hill, by Memorial Day. Updates regarding the reopening of rooms and suites inside the Agassiz Mansion are expected in the coming weeks.

Hotel officials said the fire was accidental and caused by a wood-burning fireplace. While some employees have been temporarily placed at other Newport Restaurant Group properties, the inn said efforts are underway to bring staff members back as quickly as possible.

In a statement, the hotel thanked the community for its outpouring of support following the fire, calling it meaningful to both staff and guests affected by the incident.
