Built in 1925, the John Roche House is an elegant Center-Hall Colonial in Providence's historic and walkable Freeman Plat neighborhood. Step through the portico-ed entry and into the welcoming foyer with refinished hardwood floors that run throughout the home. Move left through double doors into the front-to-back formal dining room, featuring a romantic fireplace and crown molding. The adjacent gourmet kitchen lets you craft meals in a sleek space offering glass-front cabinetry and a stone-topped center island with a second sink. Cheery mornings begin in the sun-splashed breakfast room, while steps away the living room continues the home's crisp design. A pleasing sunroom with a set of sliding glass doors connects to a blue stone rear terrace. Both the front and back yards are artfully landscaped with wireless irrigation systems. Step back inside where a powder room completes the main floor. On the second level are three bedrooms including the primary suite with a well-appointed dressing room and a beautifully renovated bath with a stone-topped, dual-sink vanity, a walk-in shower, and a spa-like soaking tub. Down the hall, an updated full bath provides another dual vanity and a dedicated office perfect for telecommuting. Finally, step upstairs to the third floor with another full bath and two sizable bedrooms with dormer windows, lending more versatile space. This home is an easy walk to Wayland Square, the public & private schools plus the universities. A winner!
