A quick stroll from Benefit St. or the Brown campus leads you to this Federal style home complete with original hitching post, offering a glimpse into a Providence of 200 years ago. Surprisingly, only 4 owners, including members of the Green Family (of TF Green Airport fame), may be the reason why the period details have been so well preserved. Enter through the garden level entrance to the formal dining room and on to the updated kitchen with breakfast nook and wrap-around windows with a view of the back bricked garden. The second level, entered through the main entrance, opens into a spacious foyer where the eye is immediately drawn to the beautiful stairs, a double-arched entryway to the back of the house, high ceilings and absolutely stunning crown moldings. Floors of wide pine characteristic of the era continue throughout the house. The four floors of living space can be adapted to four or five bedrooms, one or two home offices, two family rooms & more. Recent updates include completely upgraded electrical wiring, exterior paint, masonry and the addition of 2 mini-split systems. The two off street parking spaces in this listing are leased in a lot across the street and the lease conveys to the new owners. Enjoy all the conveniences of the East Side and Brown University while residing on a quiet side street surrounded by reminders of an earlier era. A truly special and unique home that has so much to offer, including a view of Narragansett Bay when the trees are bare.
