Property Description
Ever dreamed of owning your own pied-à-terre? This is your chance! This jewel of a home is being marketed for the first time in almost 100 years. It has the unique distinction of being on Benefit Street, but also being set way back from the street, allowing for the maximum amount of privacy in this coveted location.
Set on a 7,700 sq. ft lot, this home is currently being used as a legal two-family but could very easily be converted back into a single-family. The rental unit has over 1000 sq. ft of space, as well as in-unit laundry, and artisan-level wood paneling in the living/dining area with a wonderful, oversized fireplace.
The tenant vacates at the end of July 2025. Enjoy the coming months on either the flagstone patio on the ground level, or the awninged deck on the 2nd level overlooking N. Main Street and downtown Providence. This deck is accessed from the living room. The owner's unit has two full bathrooms, one on the main level, and a 2nd one in the primary bedroom, which can be accessed through the 2nd bedroom. The second bedroom could easily be a work-from-home or guest space- you decide! There is a detached 2-car garage, as well as parking for four cars and a bit of a city yard. There are hardwood floors throughout the owner's unit. Experience the best of city living and the opportunity to own your own piece of history! This iconic home is within easy walking distance to Brown University, RISD, museums, and all the activities Providence is famous for!
