About this home
This brick Italianate, designed by architect Alpheus C. Morse in 1861, sits on Providence's historic College Hill just steps to Brown University. This home has a rich and storied place in the city's history, having been home to merchants, governors and academics alike. The classical layout features a grand entry hall with a sweeping three story staircase crowned by an elliptical skylight. To the left of the foyer is a discreet coat room and guest powder room. To the right is the living room with 11' ceilings, crown moldings and rich wood floors that extend throughout. A library features a fireplace and custom bookcases. Across the hall is the dining room which can accommodate an intimate dinner or full-scale banquet. Through the full-service pantry is the kitchen with cherry wood cabinetry, a center island, stone counters and professional grade appliances. At the back is a service hall, half bath and storage. An amazing family room extends along the back of the house with floor to ceiling glass sliding doors that step out to the rear garden, capped by an elliptical skylight reminiscent of the original. The second floor has a generous primary suite with a walk-in dressing room and full tile bath. Two more-bedroom suites and a study complete this level. The top floor has three-bedroom suites and a study. An elevator services the entire home including the finished lower level with laundry room, rec room, wine cellar and integral access to a four-car garage. Unrivaled!...
