Welcome to a special one level open flow condominium overlooking the Providence River. Located on the 2nd level this home has spectacular views day and night, particularly at sunset. It is a great convergence of the past and the present with an eye on the future. The historic heritage of the property has been respected but the updates, particularly with the gourmet kitchen, with stone countertops is dramatic and practical. The living room is located on the southwest corner of the residence. Sunsets and city lights will bath the space. The floors are wood. The windows are large. The space is expansive. The dining area also faces the River. Both bedroom are huge. This is a home without a lot of rooms, but rather a lot of room. Bathrooms are also recently updated and are European in inspiration. There is designated parking behind the building, 2 spaces! Primary suite was just repainted and floors were refinished. So this a superior opportunity for someone who wants the convenience of urban living with panoramic views. Walk to restaurants, ,parks, museums, shopping, and the waterfront within a few steps. Located at the foot of College Hill. 38 Transit #2 is an ideal address to call your home. Homestead exemption is included in tax indicated; investor/non-owner occupied investor would be $11,870.
The recent updates look fantastic, right in the heart of things in Providence.
