A Newport Estate of Rare Distinction Has Found Its A Newport Estate of Rare Distinction Has Found Its New Chapter

Tucked behind the gates of Ocean Lawn, where historic estates line the curve of Newport’s storied coastline, 10 Ocean Lawn Lane has officially sold for $7,925,000—marking the highest residential sale in Newport, RI since Sept. 2024, according to data from the Multiple Listing Service.

Originally part of the legendary Firestone estate, this stone-and-shingle masterpiece—built in 2017 by @horanbuilding—represents the best of what modern craftsmanship can achieve when paired with timeless architectural vision. 

Represented by Joseph Costa of Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International Realty, the buyers now step into a home that feels more like a legacy.

Set on three acres of manicured grounds, the estate unfolds with effortless grace. Soaring ceilings, sunlit rooms, and open-concept living spaces make it as inviting as it is refined. The heart of the home—a chef’s kitchen with striking Rhino marble countertops and top-of-the-line appliances—opens to a series of living and dining areas made for both quiet mornings and celebratory evenings. French doors lead to a heated pool, hot tub, and a sweeping bluestone patio—perfectly positioned for golden hour.

Inside, 8 bedrooms, multiple fireplaces, a theater, game room, and fitness suite offer comfort, privacy, and room to grow. A main-level primary suite adds everyday convenience to this fully turnkey home—just minutes from Newport’s Cliff Walk, beaches, and downtown charm.

“I’m honored to have represented the buyers in the purchase of this extraordinary Newport estate,” said Costa. “This property offers the perfect blend of classic New England architecture and modern luxury that my clients will treasure.”

A basement fire at a multifamily home on Potter St A basement fire at a multifamily home on Potter Street Thursday afternoon displaced seven adults and drew a large emergency response from across Aquidneck Island.

Newport Fire Department crews were dispatched at 2:42 p.m. to 8 Potter Street after reports of smoke coming from the basement. Engine 2 arrived two minutes later and found smoke showing, quickly deploying a 1¾-inch attack line to begin firefighting operations.

By 2:45 p.m., Incident Command upgraded the response to a first alarm, calling in mutual aid from Middletown, Jamestown, and the Naval Station Newport to assist with suppression efforts and citywide coverage.

Firefighters reported the blaze was mostly knocked down by 2:51 p.m., and the fire was declared under control by 3:09 p.m.

Officials believe the fire started in a dryer and vent system and was contained to the basement. The Newport Fire Marshal remained on scene conducting interviews and an investigation, with the State Fire Marshal notified shortly before 4 p.m.

Three families living in the home were displaced. The American Red Cross was contacted around 3:20 p.m. to assist seven affected adults with temporary housing and support.

One resident was evaluated on scene by Middletown Rescue. No serious injuries were reported.

Firefighters also rescued two cats from the building, both of which were taken to a veterinarian for evaluation and were reported to be in good condition.
