297 Doyle Ave Providence, RI 02906

In this much-admired cottage-style house, the well-maintained character of the exterior is matched by the craftsmanship of the spacious interior. The front hall leads to an extended open-plan, front-to-back living area, a beamed ceiling with skylights, and a large multi-paned window offering a view of the garden. A sunken parlor, fitted with floor-to-ceiling cabinetry and window seats, is perfect for intimate fireside evenings. The farmhouse-style eat-in kitchen includes vintage features: glass-paned cupboards; a Hoosier cabinet; retro-style tin ceiling; and raised booth seating for four. One of the three second floor bedrooms is attached to a small balcony. The third floor bedroom has an en-suite bathroom containing a claw-footed tub and a skylight. Attractive, low-maintenance perennial gardens surround the house. A hidden Zen-like garden with a fountain and bench provides access to a summer house that can be used as a quiet retreat, a child's playhouse, a special place for a restful nap in a hammock, or a three-season studio. This well-cared-for property features new windows and refinished oak floors throughout, updated with central air conditioning, and built-in space-saving storage solutions. Easy access to major roadways, conveniently close to Universities, private & public schools, and downtown restaurants and shops. A compelling value in a superb location!.
