About This Home
As of August 2023This iconic residence in the desirable Hill & Harbor neighborhood has played an integral part of East Greenwich history since it was built as St. Luke's Parish House in 1896. You won't own this stately example of shingle style architecture so much as a steward for the next generation. Steps to award winning restaurants & shops on Main Street, next to the vibrant East Greenwich library, and walking distance to Academy Field or Greenwich Bay, this elegant residence is ideally situated. The east & west facing Pella windows offer breathtaking sunrises over the water and glowing sunsets above the flowering trees of the neighboring Varnum House museum. The 10' high ceilings, hardwoods, pocket doors, and high end craftsmanship represent a bygone era of quality. The ultra-luxe kitchen with Viking appliances offers a separate catering kitchen with pantry, prep sink & second dishwasher. Summertime entertaining is a joy on the rooftop deck overlooking the lights of town and the bay. This home is truly like no other with its third floor choir loft overlooking the "great hall" and stage, boasting 20+foot cathedral ceilings and soaring architectural beams. The primary suite features an elegant marble bathroom with soaking tub, three closets, and water views. Additional features include a 2-car garage, updated roof, 3 zone HVAC, 400 amp electrical, winter gardening room, walk out lower, & EV charging station. Don't miss your chance to own this quintessential piece of Rhode Island history.
