Welcome to the John Truman House (1802), located just off of Benefit Street in beautiful College Hill! On the market for the first time in 60 years, this remarkable Federal-style home was lovingly restored in 1965 in collaboration with Antoinette Downing and the Providence Preservation Society. Step through the pedimented front doorway, through a handsome entry hall, into a spacious and well-appointed first floor that offers an incredible amount of living space with an elegant flow. You’ll find two living or sitting rooms, a beautiful office with built-in bookshelves, a formal dining room, a powder room, and a kitchen that opens onto a lovely rear shaded garden. Upstairs, find two large bedrooms, a sitting room, a bathroom, and a primary bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. This post-and-beam gem is rife with incredible historic details throughout, including gorgeous wide-plank floors, decorative wood trim, crown moldings, and gorgeous hearths. Additional amenities include a brand-new Viessmann boiler, and a cobblestone driveway with ample off-street parking. This incredible opportunity offers amazing proximity to Brown and RISD, the pedestrian bridge, Trader Joe’s, India Point Park, Wickenden Street, Downtown and the Jewelry District – and with easy access to highways and bike trails. Note: this is an estate sale.
