Property Overview

Dating to 1760, this historic mansion blends its colonial heritage and period character with modern comforts, creating an inviting retreat in the heart of Newport.

Originally built as the private residence of Colonel Francis Malbone, the property has witnessed centuries of Newport history, including its occupation by British forces during the Revolutionary War.
