Cape Cod Style in Historic Nye Beach.
Continuing the tradition of Victorian Architecture, The Applegate House opened on Memorial Day 2000 and is a worthy addition to Newport's Historic Nye Beach. The Applegate vacation home builds upon many of the features that the Wakefield House originated; and then we stood back and made a few changes here and a few additions there. Still gathering inspiration from the Queen Anne period of American Architecture and homes that can be found in many communities up and down the west coast, the owner-builder, Husband & Wife team have brought together the elements that comprise this unique period of American creativity.
The large two story bay window is the visual anchor of the west facade. With crown mouldings both inside and out and ornate shingle exterior, the entire west face makes for an impressive streetscape.
Upon entering the home the guest is greeted first by the slate floors that run the length of the hallway and nine foot ceilings that are found throughout the first floor. The built up crown moldings and ornate base moldings are worthy of the finest Victorian homes of the Queen Anne Period.
The owners have continued as, in their previous homes, to place two bedrooms on the first floor. The large master bedroom with its attractive Queen sized sleigh bed and captivating furnishings as well as delightful linen, comforters, and pillows, will award the guest with a comfortable place to sleep or just lie about and enjoy some quality time.
A comfortable second bedroom has three single beds for those of you traveling with kids or business groups or with just those bridge playing, book reading women's groups that find our homes so attractive.
A full bathroom with pedestal sink and period furnishings as well as a full sized washer dryer can also be found on this first floor.
The last room on the first floor and a change from the Wakefield House is the Garden Room. This room has a Queen size bed, but what sets it off is the presence of the surrounding enclosed garden and deck area which also features a jacuzzi.
The upstairs in the large open space with its full west wall of ocean facing glass, houses the living room, dining area, kitchen, and a small reading nook. With its ten foot ceilings and expansive entertainment center featuring a gas fireplace, stereo and large tv, the guest can either while away the hours gazing at the sea or turn and visit with friends and family in the comfortable surroundings.
This floor also contains a fourth bedroom with Queen sized bed and a full bathroom with pedestal sink and shower.
Applegate House is located directly across the street from Newport's Performing Arts Center and one block from the Vietnam Memorial Park which has quickly become the most comfortable beach entry in Nye Beach. Applegate House is located right next door to the Wakefield and at the opposite end of the block from Fairhaven House.
