Delightful, light-filled 1839 Greek Revival Cottage on the crest of College Hill! Elegantly situated on a corner lot with views of the Statehouse, this gracious home has been stylishly renovated and is in the East Side location you've been dreaming of. A stately portico welcomes you into the charming entrance hall with wide-plank floors and a beautifully turned staircase. The front-to-back living room, complete with a regal fireplace, large windows, and original built-ins, is the ideal setting to host family and friends. Across the hall is a sunny dining room, with another fireplace and elegant millwork. The adjoining chef's kitchen is a dream with floor-ceiling white cabinetry, marble countertops, and understated brass accents. A tasteful study, marble-clad half bath and laundry area completes the first level. Upstairs is an airy primary suite with ample closet space and a beautifully renovated en-suite bath. Two more large bedrooms and another full bathroom round out this level of the home. Outside is a rare two-car garage and an enchanting, private city garden surrounded by mature plantings. Nestled on the leafy corner of Congdon Street and Lloyd Lane, this home is proximate to the universities, as well as all the shops, restaurants, and entertainment in Downtown Providence, which is a short stroll away. Easy highway and rail access allow for hassle-free travel to Boston, New York, and beyond. An historic gem in one of Providence's most desirable and picturesque locales!
