About This Home
As of July 2020William S. Brown House (c1795-1798) Charming Federal style historic home nicely situated on a beautifully landscaped 7500 square foot corner lot in the popular Fox Point neighborhood. Large addition (ell) done in 1820 includes a legal one-bedroom apartment with its own private entrance. This very special antique home has been lovingly restored and maintained by the current owners. Original period details preserved throughout, window shutters, lovely built-ins, gorgeous butler's pantry, wide-pine floors, and 4 fireplaces. The ell was completely gutted and restored in 1997, including a fabulous new country kitchen with a fireplace, center island, and a new recently installed Wolf stove and Sub-Zero refrigerator. The flexible floor plan offers several wonderful sitting rooms, a music room, two studies, and 4 or 5 bedrooms on 3 levels. Updated mechanicals. Recent single layer roof. The private yard is completely fenced and offers a large brick patio perfect for outdoor dining surrounded by delightful perennial gardens. The cobblestone driveway off Roome Lane provides parking for 2 cars. Walk everywhere - Brown, RISD, Wickenden Street shops and restaurants, and stroll the pedestrian bridge to the Knowledge District. A Providence gem!
