Property Description
Located just minutes from Wayland Square, this three-bedroom, two-full-bath home with a flexible fourth room offers tremendous potential in one of Providence's most desirable neighborhoods. With 1,608 square feet of above-ground living space, this sun-filled home is full of character, charm, and opportunity. Inside, you'll find a spacious living room with a fireplace (not recently used), beautiful hardwood floors throughout, and abundant natural light. The formal dining room features a built-in cupboard and drawers perfect for storing and displaying your favorite pieces. A flexible fourth room on the second level offers the perfect space for a home office, guest room, or potential fourth bedroom. Upstairs, lovely built-ins line a wall in the second-floor hallway, including a cozy window seat that adds both function and charm. While the home does need updating, the solid layout and original details such as vintage windows offer an excellent foundation for restoration. The generous basement provides ample space for a workshop or additional storage, and the brick-paved patio in the backyard is ideal for outdoor entertaining. A paved driveway offers parking for two vehicles. Enjoy convenient access to highways, top-rated schools, shopping, dining, and all that the East Side has to offer. With great bones, original character, and an unbeatable location, this is a rare opportunity to create your dream home in the heart of Providence.
