This one-of-a-kind, stately Georgian Revival home sited in a secluded East Side location off Blackstone Boulevard boasts over 5,700 square feet of beautiful living space. A slate hip roof, a detached three car garage in the lovely carriage house with a stunning apartment for an au pair or guest are just the beginning. Granite and bluestone steps create a gracious approach leading into the grand entry foyer. Curated by renowned LA Designer, Martyn Lawrence Bullard, this stunning home has two living areas, one with a wood-burning fireplace and a wall of luminous French doors. From the grand living room, walkout access connects to the elegant terrace, looking onto a park-like backyard with mature landscaping. The family room has striking floor-to-ceiling windows flooding the space with sunlight. Sophistication abounds in the formal dining room with a marble-surround fireplace and picture frame molding, while French doors gracefully open out to the patio. A convenient butler’s pantry reflects the ultra-modern appeal of the chef’s kitchen, which includes Euro-style cabinetry, a double oven, and a center prep island. The contrasting quartz and granite countertops flow seamlessly with the custom refrigerator, accented by a built-in booth for informal dining. An Art Deco-inspired guest bath off the entry is the spectacular finish to the main floor. Lavishly styled, the second floor primary suite embodies sumptuousness with a marble-surround, wood-burning fireplace, and two private ensuite baths with dedicated dressing rooms. Additionally, there is a well-appointed study with wall-to-wall built-in bookshelves, the perfect spot for telecommuting. There are three gracious bedroom suites, one with a fireplace and each with private full baths. The finished lower level achieves the atmosphere of a private club with a billiard room boasting a coffered ceiling, hardwood floors, and exposed beams, while the professional oak bar lets the aspiring mixologist create cocktails. The adjacent seating area presents another alluring fireplace, while a caterer’s kitchen ensures flawless social events. Across the circular stone driveway, the property’s carriage house has a second floor apartment with an open concept design including a kitchen, a comfortable bedroom, a full bath, and a study offering privacy for visiting family and friends. Residents shop or dine at the nearby cafes and boutiques in Hope Village and Wayland Square. The Moses Brown School, the Wheeler School, Brown University, and the Rhode Island School of Design are just across town.
