This magnificent Victorian home in Newport holds a rich history. Originally constructed in 1898 by the Emerson Family and known as “The Gables,” it was described in the local newspaper, the Argus-Spectator, on September 1, 1899, as a truly elegant and beautiful dwelling.
The Gables boasts three floors, a full basement, and a charming attic. Inside, you’ll find 22 rooms, including nine bedrooms. The house features three covered piazzas, an exquisite staircase with a stained-glass window, intricately frescoed walls and ceilings, a convenient dumbwaiter, and speaking tubes.
A notable addition was made to the property in the form of a two-story hall with a bar, kitchen space, and stage, which served as the Moose Lodge of Newport from 1944 to 1991.
Situated just under seven miles away from the breathtaking Lake Sunapee Region and the popular Mount Sunapee Ski Resort and Adventure Center, this unique property offers easy access to outdoor activities. Additionally, it is conveniently located only 20 miles from Mount Ascutney, the Connecticut River, and I91 in Vermont, and a little over 30 miles from Dartmouth College.
This remarkable Sunapee Region property is awaiting an owner who can restore it to its former glory and appreciate its historical significance.
