Description

Captivating Zoeth Brown House (c1845) in Fox Point, completely reimagined and thoughtfully renovated for modern living. Original period details, pine floors, and character throughout. Charming side entry to the main level and an inviting center entry foyer leads to a living room and a living/playroom, each with a marble fireplace, and a family room with a gas fireplace. Delightful bright and open eat-in kitchen with white custom cabinetry, granite counters, stainless appliances, vaulted ceiling, large dining area surrounded by windows, and French doors out to a stone patio overlooking the private fenced yard with mature plantings. A mudroom with laundry and a full bath completes the 1st floor. Primary bedroom with a walk-in closet, vaulted beamed ceiling, and a skylight, plus two other bedrooms and a full bath on the 2nd floor. The ground level offers its own private entrance to a living room, pantry, bedroom, and full bath, making it the perfect set-up for an in-law or au-pair situation. Central A/C. Gated driveway with 4 car parking. Excellent condition inside and out: recent roof, freshly painted interior, new boiler and new hot water heater. Ideally located just steps from Benefit Street – an easy walk to Trader Joe’s, Wickenden Street shops and restaurants, India Point Park, pedestrian bridge, Brown, RISD, and more. Very special!

    "Walkable commute. Or easy under 10 minute drive anywhere. Easy access to highways and downtown. Not sure what else to say. There are buses, but there is a definite socioeconomic division of who uses it."
  • Milestonepropllc
    "Fox Point is an amazing & diverse neighborhood with great food options. Very walkable to downtown, Brown, RISD & pet friendly. Parking can be tight & occasional rowdyness at night but that's city life & part of the flavor you sign up for. Among my favorite communities in PVD. "
  • Mzlomke29
    "I’ve lived in this area for 10 years and love it here. It’s very walkable and has a nice, small neighborhood feel, while also being super centrally located. "
  • Dan R.
    "I see people walking dogs everywhere. Shops and businesses have dog treats readily available. There are not a lot of open spaces so you might have to keep your dog on a tight leash. "
  • Mason B.
    "So many dogs in this area. Just don’t bring them to the dog park near the bridge to East Providence. Too many parasites. "
  • Mason B.
    "I drive to work everyday, but I would love to bike, if only I didn’t need my car for work... It only takes 10 minutes drive to get to work and I stop to pick up a coffee at my local favorite cafe. Not bad at all!"
  • Mason B.
    "Maybe not walk at the Dog Park, I’ve heard there’re too many parasites. But the neighborhood is dog-friendly and safe enough to walk around in at all hours. "
  • John_Mustard
