College Hill, located between Downtown Providence and Blackstone Boulevard, is a historic and academic Providence neighborhood with brick sidewalks and hilltop views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Thayer Street at Angell Street, where coffee counters, indie boutiques, and late-night bites keep the sidewalks in motion. RISD Museum anchors the cultural calendar, while Avon Cinema and The Duck and Bunny act as familiar local fixtures. Federal-style and Victorian houses line Benefit Street, with pocket gardens and wrought-iron details. Brown University greens and RISD studios shape a walk-first rhythm from campus quads to river overlooks.

Nothing to do but move in! There's so much to love about this gorgeous East Side home! Completely rehabbed in 2019 from top to bottom, this four bedroom home has it all: new roof, new heating system & central AC, new kitchen & bathrooms, wiring, plumbing, new windows throughout, refinished hardwood floors. The current owners repainted the interior and exterior, added new doors, built an amazing deck & fire pit area, and added first floor laundry with full bathroom. The spacious kitchen is ideal for entertaining with a stunning island. The connecting dining room is also oversized, the room off of the dining room is ideal for a first floor bedroom or home office. The living room has oversized, unique windows and the room features a gas fireplace, this is the perfect spot for a cozy afternoon with a good book! Three bedrooms upstairs offer ample room for a new or growing family and is complete with a custom renovated full bathroom. The basement is well suited for storage and an integral garage is a major bonus, especially during our colder months. Multiple outdoor entertaining spaces are available for your enjoyment--the charming front porch, the large deck off of the back door complete with twinkly lights and a fire pit in the fenced in yard. This location is especially ideal for those who are commuting to the North or South--easy access to the train station or highways.
