However, that house in the ad is not his official residence — his home is on the East Side of Providence, not in the second congressional district, but in the first congressional district.

According to Providence real estate records and Magaziner’s own filing with the Rhode Island Board of Elections Campaign Finance Division, as of August 1, 2022 he lives on Catalpa Road in one of Providence's most expensive sections of the city. 

 

 

 

 

Magaziner’s real home is estimated to be worth more than $900,000, according to one real estate pricing firm, and is far-removed from a simple one-floor ranch.

His home has five bedrooms and three and a half baths. The 1900 historic Colonial was purchased by Magaziner in 2016 when he was 33 years old for $530,000, according to records. According to Providence - A Citywide Survey of Historic Resources --  the homes on Catalpa were designed by architects Murphy & Hindle and the development was built by Gilbane Construction Company.

So how does the Magaziner campaign explain the TV house versus his East Side home? They refused to respond to multiple questions about the TV house.
