Located in the quaint village of Kingston, this classic 1910 home is just down the road from the University of Rhode Island. As you walk up the front steps of this impressive property, you immediately notice how solidly built it is. The front patio welcomes visitors through a covered entryway into a home with the original wood floors wonderfully finished to enhance the natural beauty and charm of the property. A large living room in the front with gas fireplace is a great place to sit and enjoy family and guests alike. The kitchen overlooks the large backyard space with stone patio. The mature trees provide wonderful shade in the summer. Four bedrooms are on the second level and a fifth bedroom and bath are located on the third. Currently being used as an investment property, the owner has generated income over the past seven years during both the academic and summer sessions.
