425 Bellevue Avenue, Newport, Rhode Island, United States, 02840

Rockry Hall was designed by Seth Bradford in 1890 in Newport Rhode Island. Soon after construction finished, a fire ravaged the mansion. When the home was being rebuilt, a neighbouring Queen Anne was moved 100-feet and angled into Rockry Hall on the northeast corner. The end result was a mixture of two period homes, which is what exists today. Over the past 13 years, the home has been extensively renovated featuring a 20-foot x 40-foot Gunite pool and spa, Christopher Peacock kitchen and central air conditioning to allow for the enjoyment of modern amenities, while maintaining period detail. The open floor plan is warm and inviting. Rockry Hall hit the market in 2017 for $6.25 million and sold in December 2020 for $5.2 million. Step inside the home from the porte-cochere and you will find a grand front hall, great room, library, living room, large dining room, open kitchen, two powder rooms and two covered porches. On the second floor, you will find an over-sized master suite, laundry and three additional bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. On the third floor you will find three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Sited on just over an acre of professionally landscaped gardens, this residence allows privacy while also being a short distance to the beaches, Bellevue Avenue Shops, Newport, Harbor, International Tennis Hall of Fame, restaurants and Cliff Walk. Rockry Hall was on the market for $5.45 million with Alexandra Thursby of Lila Delman Real Estate.
