Understated elegance makes this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home an ideal place to plant roots. Nearby restaurants, cafes, and shops of Hope Village provide a great feeling of community. A welcoming vestibule and gleaming hardwood floors greet you as you step through the entry. Central air and a new heating system add to the feeling of comfort. Step into the gas-fireplaced, front-to-back living room with crisp crown molding. The pleasing style continues in the formal dining room elevated by picture-frame molding. The stylishly updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a delightful breakfast bar. Walkout access opens out to the tiered deck overlooking the fenced-in backyard for all kinds of alfresco dining. Upstairs, a nicely renovated hallway bath with a dual-sink stone vanity serves the bedrooms. The finished lower level offers bonus space to customize for your living, entertaining, or working needs with a convenient full bath. Thayer Street and the campuses of Brown & RISD add more to see and do. Walk down leafy Blackstone Boulevard and visit the farmers market at Lippitt Park. Close to I-95 and the train station, downtown Providence is minutes away for fine dining, theater, and sporting events.
