Views of Block Island Sound, private access to the beach and even an inn were among the highlights as the luxury real estate market in Newport County remained strong in January.
Three properties across the county were reported sold by realty agencies, including the historic Chart House Inn at 16 Clarke St., in Newport. Already the new owners say they expect to maintain the nine-bed inn on Washington Square, meaning you can still guide visiting friends and relatives to stay there.
