America's First Resort. The City by Sea are just a couple Newport descriptions. We think of it as among Rhode Island's best features. And the best part of Newport is Twenty-Six Franklin Street a true rare offering in the heart of Downtown, where timeless charm, modern luxury, and investment potential come together under one roof. The private two-bedroom, two-bath residence spans two levels above the harborscape, creating the feeling of a coastal sanctuary. Thoughtfully designed, it features light-filled living areas, a well-appointed kitchen and dining space, and comfortable accommodations ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Sitting atop of it all is your private rooftop deck an extraordinary rarity in Newport offering sweeping views of it all, perfectly suited for morning coffee, sunset gatherings, or evenings under the stars.
