About This Home
As of June 2020History comes alive in the Samuel Staples House, circa 1796 on the historic Benefit Street. This much admired home is an exquisite example of Providence's 18th Century architecture with clapboard exterior, gable roof, center chimney and doorway. Since purchasing the property in 2008, the preservation minded owners began a major renovation, updating the interior and all the mechanicals for 21st century living. The open floor plan on the first level includes a beautifully designed kitchen, dining room, library and living room with french doors leading to a rear deck with spectacular views of the State House. The master bedroom, guest bedroom and an office area with a full bath are on the second level. The garden level, walk-out basement has an office, and guest bedroom with a full bath. All three full bathrooms have been completely remodeled. There are 7 fireplaces with original handcrafted mantels. The wide plank wood floors were refinished. The front of the property has a new brick sidewalk with a gate to an enchanting rear garden with gorgeous perennials, stone paths, landscape lighting, a garden shed, a lush lawn with underground sprinklers, and a covered patio for outside entertaining. Leased nearby parking.
