Hello! My name is Avram. I'm a professional software engineer, dedicated sailor, avid runner, and beginner singer/violist. I moved to Newport in 2001, and bought this house in 2012. I've managed to create a beautiful life for myself here and I love to share it with friends, family, and the public.
Note: I am just a regular guy, this is not an investment property - it is my home. It is not a perfect cookie-cutter replica of a beach cottage, it is a real 120 year-old New England home. As mentioned in the description, it has tons of charm and character, and that does include some little quirks common to older homes - please ask for details if this concerns you!
I live on the third floor during the summer, so renters can enjoy the 2nd floor uninterrupted by me. This is an unusual situation in Newport, in most cases short-term whole-home rentals are illegal here (note: be careful with other properties! Many short-term rentals in Newport are illegal, and if the owner gets caught, you could lose your stay at the last minute, and may not get a refund). I am allowed to do this because my place is "owner-occupied." Technically you are sharing it with me, but because of the layout, it is easy for me to give you your privacy.
