About this House
The William G. Budlong House, c1828, is a wonderful example of the Federal Style architecture prevalent in the Fox Point neighborhood. Owned and lovingly cared for by the same family (6th owners) for over 50 years, this home is an historic property lover's dream. Step up through the front door with fan detail, into the entry hall and marvel at the original stenciled floor, turned newel post and beautifully preserved architectural details. The living room has a wood burning fireplace, one of six in the house and chair rail. These same features flow through to the formal dining room creating a wonderful space to entertain. There is a keeping room and kitchen at the back of the home which are separated by another fireplace with a brick oven. A powder room and office complete this floor. Up to the second level, in the front of the house, are two bedrooms each with a fireplace, plus a full bath. At the back of the house is the primary suite with a bath and shower and a large walk-in closet. The third floor contains three additional rooms which can serve as an office or guest space. Out to the garden, which was professionally designed, are raised beds with mature plantings. You will love the granite cobble stone driveway reminding you of its maritime past. This home awaits your design prowess. Bring your architect or design build firm and create your own jewel box set in one of Providence's oldest neighborhoods. An easy walk to shopping, restaurants, parks and downtown. A gem!
