**Offers due by 6pm on 08/27**New to the Providence market for the first time in more than 30 years, 168 Cypress Street is a historic home lover's dream come true! Carefully tended over the years, the new owners will inherit light-filled spaces, original details, and thoughtful improvements. Nestled into the mature landscaping and gardens on a 9,000-square-foot lot, the home sits proudly among trees and shrubs next to a brick patio and soaring timber pergola. The first floor holds a spacious front parlor with gorgeous moldings and two additional sitting rooms. The kitchen is spacious and practical, and the original Barstow wood-fired cooking stove is still functional! Upstairs are five large bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The layout provides privacy and flexibility for owners who need lots of sleeping space or home offices. Up one more flight of stairs are sweeping Western views of the sunset and Providence capital rotunda from the cupola windows. With updated electrical and plumbing and fresh mechanicals, the new owner can bring their finishing touches to the interior. The lush exterior has space for gardening, entertaining, or an ADU. Located a seven-minute drive from the Amtrak station and a mere five minutes from Brown University, this location is ideal for train commuters or folks looking for a historic, country-side feeling in a beautiful walking neighborhood. Less than a 10-minute walk are coffee shops and popular restaurants
