Originally built in 1868, the Oscar J. Rathbun Mansion was designed by renowned architect Michael Valk. This historic Italianate brownstone with mansard roof resembles Valk’s work on several of the Newport mansions, and features an oval theme with intricate details throughout. The interior of the home abounds with intricate period details and fine craftsmanship, while the front verandah and side porch are ideal for entertaining. Outside, the professionally landscaped grounds showcase a tranquil English garden with water fountain, as well as a sprawling yard lined with field stone walls and tall shade trees. This property also includes a two-story carriage house with basement, providing ample storage space and an array of options for renovation. Situated on historic Prospect Street, the mansion is within walking distance of an array of nearby parks, as well as the Stadium Theatre, and the River Island Park outdoor skating rink. The home is less than three miles from the 18-hole golf course at New England Country Club, while its central location allows for an easy commute to Providence, Worcester, and Boston.
