RPL’s Schiffman Closes Sale of Historic Thomas Aldrich House on College Hill

Residential Properties Ltd. is proud to announce the sale of 140 Power Street on Providence’s East Side for $1,125,607. RPL Sales Associate Gerri Schiffman represented the seller as the listing agent in this transaction. 

According to State-Wide MLS data, RPL has now participated in 21 of the 22 single-family sales over $1 million in Providence this year, representing 34 of the 44 transaction sides. 

The Thomas Aldrich House (c1800-1805) is an antique Colonial that was moved from Benevolent Street to its current location in 1949 and placed on a new concrete foundation. Original charm and character have been thoughtfully preserved, including its wide-board pine floors and eight fireplaces. A two-story addition was added to the rear of the house in the late 90s which included a full basement, a large kitchen with French doors out to a stone patio, and a primary suite on the second floor with a skylighted ensuite bath, two walk-in closets, two offices, and a fireplace. The sun-filled first floor offers a living room, sitting room, dining room, and family room opening to the kitchen addition, each with its own fireplace. The second floor features a sitting room with access to a family bath, two bedrooms, a library, and the primary suite. The third floor has vaulted, beamed ceilings, a cozy sitting area, a full bath, and another bedroom. College Hill allows for easy walks to Brown and RISD, as well as the inviting shops and restaurants on Thayer and Wickenden Streets.
