Broadway Historic District, located between Downtown Providence and Federal Hill, is a historic and residential Providence neighborhood with a grand Victorian streetscape and a café-lined commercial spine. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Broadway and Dean Street, where sidewalk patios, small galleries, and chef-driven dining set a steady, lived-in rhythm. Long blocks of restored 19th-century houses and brick apartment buildings frame pocket gardens and stoops that keep the street scene active. Community pillars include Broadway Bistro, The Avery, and the Columbus Theatre, each adding a distinct local cadence. Tree cover and narrow side streets soften the urban grid while keeping the skyline close. A short walk east brings the State House and downtown arts venues into view.

A stunning one of a kind Carriage House just steps to Broadway. Built in the Second Empire style, circa 1875, this majestic building was once part of the famed Barnaby's Castle. The first floor has been masterfully reimagined to a gallery space with a kitchenette and half bath, perfect for use as a creative enterprise, showroom or display area. There is ample space at the back of the building for storage or a working studio. The second level contains a large city apartment with all the amenities. Its scale feels loft like, however, the two bedroom suites, each with an en-suite bath offers plenty of privacy. The oversized medallion window serves as the focal point for the living area with high ceilings, wood floors and rich architectural details. The chef's kitchen takes center stage with an island bar, wood cabinetry, stone counters and stainless appliances. Exposed brick walls and beamed ceilings add a sense of character. Be part of all the West Side has to offer with fine dining, shops, pubs and entertainment. An easy walk to Downtown, the train and access to the interstate make this property a magical urban retreat!
