Own a piece of Providence history! The Mumford-Lovecraft House (c1825) is a well preserved late Federal style dwelling that was moved here from 66 College Street in 1959. This charm-filled historic home features lovely period details, tall 9'10 ceilings, 5 fireplaces, and original wide-board pine floors throughout. The elegant entry foyer welcomes you into the living room and adjoining dining room, both with fireplaces and many windows all around. The kitchen was redone 25 years ago in a style all its own and has access out to a sweet enclosed brick patio, creating a convenient back entrance to the home. The 1st floor also has two powder rooms, one with laundry, and a door out to the delightful private bluestone patio and a fenced city garden. The 2nd floor offers 3 generous bedrooms, two with fireplaces, excellent closet space, two full bathrooms, and a staircase up to the unique monitor room with windows on all 4 sides providing interesting city views. The lower level is nicely finished with extensive built-in shelving, a fireplace, and a new floor, perfect for a family room or study. Convenient parking in the driveway for up to 4 cars. Super walkable location - an easy stroll to Brown, RISD, Thayer Street, Downtown Providence, the train, and countless shops and restaurants. This special home was the last residence of the prolific Providence science fiction writer Howard Phillips Lovecraft. Bring your imagination and become the next steward of this College Hill gem!
