77 Bridge St, Newport, RI


 

Iconic Pitts Head Tavern, circa 1659 , is located on an incredibly spacious 10, 000 sq ft site at the southern end of the historic Point neighborhood. Beautifully intact, historic details include six fireplaces with interesting antique tile surrounds, wooden interior shutters, wide-plank pine floorboards, and unique balustrade design. Bridge Street, considered by many to be the most beautiful street on The Point, is also the closest to downtown Newport and the Newport Shipyard and a half a block to Newport Harbor. Rare opportunity to restore a true historic treasure.


The Current Floor Plan



How I would change the layout

The Entrance Hall 


The Living Room

This room would basically remained unchanged




The Study

The Study would stay unchanged

The Study would just need to have the exposed furnaces covered, and new paint

The Current Kitchen. This would be turned into a Butler's Pantry

This room would become the new kitchen with a open concept 

The bathroom and closet straight ahead would be removed to make way for a breakfast nook. The stairs on the right would be removed and a ceiling added. 

The Dining Room

The Dining Room would remain unchanged


The door on the left would be sealed and the closet on the right would become the entrance from the Butler's Pantry into the dining room

The second floor landing 

The Master Bedroom would remain the same for the most part



The current master bath would be gutted. The closet on the right would remain and have shelfs installed to become a linen closet. The closet on the right would be turned into a vanity sink area.

The current vanity would be removed and a jacuzzi/shower installed in its place.  The shower would be removed and a door going into the new dressing room would be put in its place. 

This back room would be gutted, and a dressing/ Master Retreat area would take its place. 

This room would be gutted, The stairs in the middle going up to the third floor would stay but have a door added. The closet on the right of the stairs would be removed to turn it into access from the bathroom into the dressing area. two closets would be installed about where that chair is. The built-ins around the windows would be removed. The Stairs on the right going to the ground floor would be enclosed, and either a storage closet or a computer work station would be built in its place. 

The area in front of this fire place would act as a sitting area as part of the Master Retreat. 

The 2nd. Floor Guest Room 

This bedroom would remain largely unchanged. 


Looking through that door one would see another door going into the Master Retreat

This bathroom behind the second floor bedroom would be updated

The third floor landing 

This landing would remain largely the same. The door to the right at the top of the stairs would become a hall.

This area would be turned into a hall for access The shelfs on the right would be enclosed and a new door to a new back bedroom installed straight ahead. 

This would be where a new closet and main door would be installed. The door to the right would be sealed and wall replace it (Most likely sheet rock) 

A very ruff idea of the change to new 3rd. floor bedroom. 


Changes to the rest of new back bedroom on the 3rd. floor


3rd. Floor Hall between bedrooms. This closet would be opened up to extend the hall access to the main stairs. The door on the right to the front bedroom would remain the same allowing access to the bathroom from that bedroom. 

Current set up in 3rd. Floor hall the door to the back room on the right will be sealed and a new door on the left allowing access to the stairs coming from the second floor added. 

a ruff idea of third floor hall changes

3rd floor bathroom updated but unchanged for the most part

Third floor front bedroom will remained unchanged for the most part

Entrance to front third floor bedroom from stair landing

Third floor room that would be used as a Den. Room would remain largely unchanged.
