About this House

Perched on one of College Hill’s most coveted blocks, this two-bedroom, one-bath condo delivers the charm of Benefit Street - timeless architecture, cobblestone streets, and a walk score that’s hard to beat. Tucked inside the Bush-Updike House, circa 1847, the home features high ceilings, elegant picture-frame molding, generous closet space, and an open kitchen that makes the most of its light-filled footprint. A dedicated storage area adds everyday convenience, while in-unit laundry brings modern ease to this historic gem. Enjoy access to a shared courtyard through your own private entrance -r are direct outdoor space with potential for a garden - framed by views of the Unitarian church steeple next door, one of the neighborhood’s most photographed landmarks. Just moments from the Providence Athenaeum, RISD Museum, WaterFire Providence, and Thayer Street’s shops and cafes, with Brown University, RISD, and Johnson & Wales all nearby, this is a walk-everywhere address where a car becomes optional. Here you get the best of both worlds: downtown Providence’s energy at your doorstep, paired with the tree-lined parks, museums, and cultural institutions that make this pocket of the city so beloved.
