From LLNYC: Known as “Dodo,” the Newport, R.I. mansion of the late Campbell Soup heiress Dorrance Hill Hamilton just hit the market asking $12.5 million, according to the Wall Street Journal.
While the house is full of traditional charm, it is actually newly built. As she aged, Hamilton, who passed in April, required a home without stairs, so in 2012 she built a sprawling new estate on historic Ocean Drive. Now, Kate Kirby Greenman of Gustave White Sotheby’s International Realty in Newport has the listing.
The six-bedroom, 10,000-square-foot house sits on 3.67 acres overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. It got the name Dodo (Hamilton preferred “the Bird House”) because of numerous bird motifs built into the property.
