RPL’s DeRentis Completes Sale of 1844 College Hill Greek Revival

Residential Properties Ltd. is pleased to announce the sale of 169 Power Street on Providence’s East Side for $1.55 million. RPL Sales Associate Jim DeRentis proudly represented the seller as the listing agent in this transaction.  

According to State-Wide MLS data, RPL has now participated in all 18 single-family sales over $1 million in Providence this year, representing 29 of the 36 total transaction sides. 

With historic details and smart, contemporary updates, this Greek Revival home enjoys all the amenities of the city in easy reach. A Doric entrance portico opens to the foyer with parquet floors and a graceful staircase. To the left sits the spacious, formal living room with a marble-surround fireplace, oversized windows, and lovely moldings. Large pocket doors open to the fireplaced dining room, followed by the chef’s kitchen, offering a large center island, stone counters, and professional-grade stainless steel appliances. An adjacent butler’s pantry continues the tasteful design with attractive cabinetry, counterspace, and a second sink for well-executed dinners. Walkout access from the kitchen connects to the home’s rear deck with serene views of the area’s mature trees. Steps walk down to the large brick patio bordered by raised garden beds. Gracious living continues in a fireplaced family room for quality time at day’s end. The second-floor primary suite dazzles with rich hardwood floors, a sun-drenched sitting area, and an additional fireplace. The ensuite bath features a dual-sink stone vanity and a glass-enclosed, walk-in shower. Down the hall, another comfortable bedroom enjoys a private, updated full bath, while two more pleasing bedrooms share a full bath with a dual-sink vanity. A third floor with two more bedrooms and a finished lower level completes the home’s layout. The property is just steps from historic Benefit, Wickenden, and Thayer Streets for a variety of shopping and dining. Residents can stroll along the Providence River and take in the weekend farmers market. The pedestrian bridge connects to downtown for concerts and theater at the Providence Performing Arts Center and Trinity Rep. A 10-minute walk past the campuses of Brown University and the Rhode Island School of Design delivers commuters to the Providence train station.
