"ENTERED FOR COMP PURPOSES ONLY" Welcome to "Morningside", a distinguished coastal residence built in 1872 as the summer home of William Barton Rogers, noted scientist, educator, and founder of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Rich in history and architectural character, this beautifully situated condominium pairs the elegance of its 19th-century origins with thoughtful modern comforts. Occupying a light-filled portion of the building with southern, eastern, and western exposures, the residence enjoys abundant natural light throughout the day. At its heart is an impressive great room where restored original windows frame views toward the ocean and Easton's Beach, while a gas fireplace adds warmth and ambiance. The well-appointed kitchen offers generous cabinetry and storage, marble countertops, and a charming breakfast nook. The flexible floor plan includes two bedrooms, a bonus room ideal for a home office or additional sleeping space, one-and-a-half baths, and a dedicated laundry room. Ductless air conditioning provides summer comfort while preserving the home's historic character. Off-street parking and gracious common lawns and grounds complete the offering. Ideally positioned to enjoy the best of coastal Newport, "Morningside" presents a rare opportunity to own a home of architectural significance with beautiful natural light, ocean views, and a remarkable connection to American history.
