Overview

Delightful 2 bedroom condo in the historic Theodore Taylor House (c1857), originally part of Brown University and moved from Waterman Street to its present site in 1975. This beautiful unit encompasses the entire 2nd floor, with oversized windows on all sides, original hardwood floors, and 9'+ ceilings. Spacious updated cook's kitchen with mosaic glass tile backsplash. The sun filled primary bedroom features a charming brick fireplace and a large closet. Updated bathroom and convenient in-unit laundry. Freshly painted interior. Thanks to its abundant windows and airy layout, the condo feels larger than its square footage. Although built in 1857, the home benefits from modern plumbing, electrical systems, and a redone basement, all updated when the building was moved. Each room features ample electrical outlets connected to an updated 100 amp service, and the basement provides excellent storage. Set on a lushly landscaped lot, the property offers a shared patio and two deeded parking spaces. The surrounding greenery creates a breezy, tree house feel - an oasis amid urban bustle. Ideally located on iconic Benefit Street, also known as The Mile of History , a short stroll to Brown University, RISD, Whole Foods, Downcity, restaurants, and the world famous WaterFire events. Plus the train station is just a 5 minute walk for easy commuter rail or Amtrak access to Boston. A very special and affordable opportunity to live in one of Providence's most storied neighborhoods.
