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!

    "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. "

    "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!"
