The historic Battey-Barden House is a wonderfully preserved piece of RI history with timeless allure. This ca. 1816 Federal-style Colonial farmhouse, built by a prosperous Rhode Island industrialist, sits proudly on 5.1 acres that include stonewall-edged fields, a meandering stream, a large garden, abundant fruit bushes, and an inground pool with a beautiful bluestone patio. An architecturally designed, detached carriage house offers a 2-car garage, a large storage loft, and 2 horse stalls, all overlooking a fenced paddock & small pond. Inside the house, you’re greeted by the warmth of wide-plank wood floors and 6 original fireplaces. The sunny, eat-in kitchen occupies the home's southern ell and includes a large island and french doors leading out to a deck. Other 1st floor rooms incl. a dining room with original beehive oven, living room, family room, den/office, and 1/2 bathroom big enough to add a shower, should you wish. Original ca. 1825 stenciling adorns the home’s front entryway—a special detail that led to its inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. On the 2nd floor is a large sitting room, primary bedroom, 2nd bedroom, full bathroom, and a 3rd cozy bedroom, nursery or office. The finished 3rd floor includes a spacious 4th bedroom, plus a possible 5th bedroom, playroom, or family flex space. Scituate offers low taxes, good schools & an easy commute to Providence.
