Known as the George S. Carr House, this classic Queen Anne Victorian circa 1885 sits along coveted Spring Garden Street in the heart of historic Pawtuxet Village, just steps from the water. Named for its original owner, the home still carries many of the architectural details and character that make this pocket of the Village so special. A beautiful wraparound porch, complete with lighting & ceiling fans, sets the tone before stepping inside to a traditional layout filled with character, including a welcoming foyer, double living room, dining room, kitchen, and a flexible first-floor room that could easily serve as a fourth bedroom or home office. Three additional bedrooms are found upstairs, along with central air on the second floor. Beautiful hardwood floors run throughout much of the home, while the first-floor bath is especially memorable with its clawfoot tub and a striking piece of stained glass. The second-floor bath offers an oversized walk-in shower. Outside your door, Pawtuxet Village delivers one of Rhode Island's most distinctive neighborhood settings, with its waterfront, marinas, locally loved restaurants and shops, and picturesque village streets all within easy reach. With its unmistakable Victorian architecture, generous spaces, and a setting every bit as special as the home itself, the George S. Carr House is waiting for someone with the vision to embrace its historic charm & bring it back to its full grandeur. 20 Spring Garden awaits its next caretaker. ..

Palace Garden, located between Post Road and Warwick Avenue, is a residential and commercial Warwick neighborhood with mid-century ranch streetscapes and a retail corridor feel. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates around the Post Road and Airport Road junction, where auto-oriented storefronts, casual eateries, and service shops set a steady, everyday rhythm. Local pillars include Iggy’s Doughboys & Chowder House, Apponaug Brewing Company, and the Warwick Center for the Arts. Side streets read quieter, with compact lots, mature trees, and a practical, lived-in look. Green breaks come via nearby waterfront paths and small parks tied to Apponaug Cove. The layout favors errands by car, with quick links toward TF Green and the bay.
