Property Description
Experience East Side living in the heart of Providence's Grotto neighborhood. Set among mature plantings on a nearly 9000sf lot, this classic 1920's Dutch colonial offers the perfect blend of elegant charm and modern convenience. A large front porch welcomes guests and is ideal for casual evenings outdoors. The entry foyer includes a cozy reading nook, and a deep closet for storage. French doors open to the living room where wainscot paneling complements the working fireplace. The adjacent dining room is flooded with afternoon sunlight by the west-facing picture window, and the kitchen features black granite countertops, white shaker cabinets, and stainless steel appliances. On the second floor are four generously sized bedrooms, one currently used as an office, and a full bathroom with original tile. The private third floor makes a great guest suite with its own three-quarter bathroom. A walk-in attic provides extra storage and skylights fill the bath and stairwell with natural light. The partially finished basement can be a family room, home office, fitness studio, or whatever you choose! The back yard is fenced in and has a patio wonderfully suited to al fresco dining. All this while being just steps to Blackstone Blvd., and an easy walk to vibrant dining and retail options in Wayland Square, or the serenity of the Blackstone Park and the Seekonk River.
