Description

Set on a quiet, leafy Cul-de Sac overlooking the Seekonk River, this 1931 classic brick Colonial is the epitome of understated elegance. Enter through front door with leaded-glass fanlight into the grand foyer with its elegant 3 story staircase. To the right is a front-to-back living room with oversized windows, a carved mantle and French doors. Across the hall is the sitting room or library with custom arched bookcases and a beautifully detailed fireplace. Adjacent is the dining room with elegant crown molding and another set of French doors that lead into a sunny, window-filled family room. The eat-in kitchen is a chef’s dream with natural quartzite countertops, Thermador appliances, and custom floor to ceiling wood cabinetry. Up the gracious staircase is an airy primary suite with a spa-like marble bathroom and a walk-in closet. Also on this level are three additional bedrooms, each with custom built-ins, and a second full bathroom. The third level contains two more generous bedrooms, both with ample storage, and another full bathroom. The home’s partially finished basement offers a rec room, laundry and ample storage space. Outside is a two-car garage and the showstopping backyard with mature plantings, stone pathways, and water features — a private oasis. Located in the desirable Grotto neighborhood, this gracious home is ideally located only minutes from Wayland Square, Brown University, the private schools and all the cultural amenities that Providence has to offer.
