Welcome to Pen Craig Gatehouse Condominiums -situated on the former Gilded Age estate of author Edith Wharton. This stand-alone condo is nestled amongst enchanting landscaped grounds with secret gardens off beautiful Brenton Cove, and just a short stroll to Newport Harbor and the New York Yacht Club. The original Potting Shed, which is now magical guest quarters, was added onto in the 50's, and again in the 80's, including a large living room, with a fieldstone fireplace, opening to a private terrace. This quiet, desirable location affords you the perfect Newport experience...bike to beaches, walk to King Park, or just read under the 100 year old trees at the picnic table on the grounds.
