Set on nearly eight acres between world-famous Bellevue Avenue and the historic Cliff Walk, this extraordinary property offers both timeless grandeur and unmatched potential. With approximately 44.000 sqft of living space in addition to the 6,000 sqft historic gatehouse, Seaview ranks as Newport's third-largest mansion in Newport. Soaring 40-foot ceilings, sprawling ballrooms, and richly appointed galleries showcase museum-quality treasures, including Venetian frescoes dating to circa 1480. The home also contains twenty-two stained glass panels documented by the Corpus Vitrearum. Beyond the primary mansion, the property allows for subdivision opportunities for multiple luxury single-family estates within steps to the Cliff Walk. Newport remains an international destination, celebrated for its sailing heritage, architectural landmarks, and world-class cultural events, from the America's Cup to the Newport Jazz and Folk Festivals. Seaview Terrace is more than a residence it is a legacy. A singular chance to acquire a landmark of this scale and stature, and to shape the next chapter of one of America's most storied estates.
