About This Home
As of June 2020Built circa 1720, the Joseph Whipple House sits at the top of Burrs Lane, just off historic Benefit Street on Providence's East Side. Originally located on nearby Star Street, the home was moved in 1979, and lovingly restored to preserve the charm and character, while also updating it for modern living. Custom millwork throughout, including hand-crafted windows and doors, complements antique wide pine floors, exposed beams, and four working brick fireplaces. Built-ins and closets provide ample storage. A wonderful southern exposure fills the U-shaped kitchen and dining room with sunlight. Stainless appliances and solid wood countertops provide functionality and warmth. One bedroom features a cathedral ceiling and an open layout that accommodates multiple uses. Stone walls enhance the yard while a fence adds privacy and conceals a garden shed. Professionally designed gardens can be enjoyed from the wood patio, or inside from many windows. A unique pied- -terre and condo alternative in Providence!
