Welcome to 32 34 Ruggles Street, a solid two family home in the Smith Hill Neighborhood of Providence with great walkable amenities including groceries, restaurants, cafes, and the State House. Only a hop skip and a jump away from 95 or route 10, and also near several bus lines, this home is the perfect location for commuting. Inside are two charming three bedroom, one bathroom apartments. Side by side for peace and convenience. This home is currently cared for by two long term month to month tenants and awaits its new owner!
Smith Hill, located between Downtown Providence and the Wanskuck area, is a historic and hillside Providence neighborhood with grand civic landmarks and compact residential blocks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Smith Street at Chalkstone Avenue, where corner markets, takeout counters, and small storefronts line the slope toward the State House. Federal Hill’s Atwells Avenue sits at the edge, adding a well-known dining corridor to the daily streetscape. The Rhode Island State House crowns the hill with a marble dome visible from many blocks. Rowhouses and triple-deckers mix with institutional architecture near Providence College’s campus edge. Side streets step down toward the Providence Place area and the river crossings.
