Set on a private 5,000 sq. ft. lot with a fenced backyard, the home welcomes you with a beautiful columned front porch framed by mature hedges for added privacy. The inviting first floor features a fireplaced living room, a formal dining room with built-in corner cabinets, an eat-in kitchen, and a convenient half bath. A sweet screened porch overlooks the backyard, creating the perfect spot for relaxing. Upstairs, a spacious landing and high ceilings enhance the second level, where a sunny primary bedroom is complemented by a charming bath with original vintage tile. Three additional bedrooms and a recently updated full bath complete the floor. The dry basement offers abundant storage space, while major system updates include a new gas-powered boiler, new hot water tank, and 200-amp electrical service. Ideally located just steps from wooded walking trails and Blackstone Boulevard, and only five minutes from the shops and restaurants of Wayland Square. Easy highway access makes commuting a breeze. A rare opportunity to own a treasured Providence East Side home in an outstanding location.
