Steeped in the history of College Hill, the c. 1795 John Pitman House offers a seamless blend of period character and refined modern updates. This distinguished Georgian Colonial showcases thoughtfully designed interiors that support both everyday living and effortless entertaining. A gracious entry introduces well-proportioned living and dining spaces, while the heart of the home is a beautifully appointed kitchen. Just beyond, a private, landscaped garden and patio create a tranquil urban retreat. The second level features three spacious bedrooms, each with its own bath, along with a flexible bonus space ideal for a home office or reading room. The top floor provides additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a light-filled open area with skylights perfect for creative pursuits or relaxed living. Rich architectural details, including multiple fireplaces and hardwood floors, enhance the home's timeless appeal. Ideally situated near Brown University, RISD, downtown Providence, and the train, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of the city's architectural heritage in an exceptional location.
