Live in the heart of the East Side of Providence in a sunny 1880's cottage filled with charming detail. This rare single-family home is a perfect condo alternative for those seeking privacy and a garden. This cozy home features hardwood floors, original moldings, antique door knobs as well as modern updates including a custom kitchen with a fireplaced dining area, ample storage and lighting, and European stainless steel appliances. The spacious, bright living room opens into a front parlor showcasing sunset views of the State House. The first floor also features a half bath. The second floor offers three bedrooms and a full bath with a clawfoot tub and laundry. A full basement and attic provide additional storage. A French door leads from the kitchen to a garden with well-tended perennials, a raised bed for vegetables and a private firepit nook. In addition to the garage there is an outbuilding with new electrical wiring that is used for seasonal entertaining and work space, but could easily become a year-round studio, guest room or secret clubhouse! Located on a friendly, diverse, quiet block that's an easy distance to groceries, shopping, local Y, parks, train station, Brown University, RISD, and downtown. Or stay right at home in your very own (actually featured in a storybook!) cottage.
