30 Fruit St Pawtucket, RI 02860

Attention old house lovers! This is a rare opportunity to own one of the most historic buildings in the Quality Hill neighborhood of Pawtucket, only 5 minutes from the MBTA station to Boston and near the new Tidewater Landing development. On the National Register since 1976, the 1828 Joseph Spaulding House is a study in fine carpentry and has been meticulously maintained in the Federal style. The home features original details throughout with designer wallpapers, interior shutters, and original wood floors. Set on a hill with a double lot, the home comprises three floors with five working fireplaces, including two beehive ovens. The main floor is made up of two parlors, a living room, large kitchen, full bath, dining room, and spare bedroom or office. The second floor features another full bath, and three bedrooms, one with working fireplace. The ground floor presents a unique opportunity to create an in-law suite or rental. The finished portion has a separate entrance that leads to a mudroom with period built-in cabinetry, a large common area with a working fireplace, and another bedroom or office. There is a large unfinished section where a kitchen and bathroom could be added. Recent updates include a new hot water heater and roof, installed in 2023. The large detached two-level garage is equipped for electric car charging. The home is a wonderful example of intact historic architecture and is protected by an easement with Preserve Rhode Island.
