According to State-Wide MLS data, this is the fourth East Side of Providence sale over $1 million this year, with RPL’s Greene | Sweeney participating in all three of the single family sales and Gerri Schiffman participating in two of the sales. 

A sunny corner lot on upper Blackstone Boulevard is the setting for this elegant and spacious 1929 Colonial with a European flair throughout. Its striking, original details begin in the grand foyer, featuring a beamed ceiling and polychrome tile floors. The front-to-back living room has floor-to-ceiling arched windows, eye-catching architectural moldings, a carved stone fireplace, and a set of French doors providing walkout access to a bluestone terrace. The formal dining room showcases a decorative, embossed ceiling and a separate bar area with a double barrel, vaulted ceiling. The expansive chef's kitchen offers a large center island and a semi-octagonal breakfast nook, while a family room with a marble fireplace and a powder room complete the first floor. A travertine marble staircase leads to the second floor and the primary suite, which includes a pair of marble ensuite baths, a wall of closets, and a private sitting room. This floor also offers three additional bedrooms, two full baths, a home office, and a laundry room. Finally, the finished lower level provides bonus space for entertaining and recreation.
