About 16 Sherman St
In the heart of Newport's Historic Hill, this handsome Italianate Victorian offers approximately 3600 square feet of living space with six bedrooms and three full baths. Generous rooms, high ceilings, and original architectural details give the house the scale and character of a classic Newport residence.
