In the heart of College Hill is 93 Benefit Street, a completely restored, historic home on one of the city’s most cherished thoroughfares. A double-door entry opens to a foyer showcasing elegant molding and beautiful, original wide-plank hardwood floors. The gorgeous living room provides one of the home’s six fireplaces and large windows for sunset views toward the city. The formal dining room includes an adjacent butler’s pantry just before the updated chef’s kitchen. Stone counters, a center island with a built-in cooktop, and stainless steel appliances make for breezy meal prep, while a powder room and two more gorgeous, fireplaced rooms set a stately backdrop for family life or private study. A mudroom with walkout access to the pergola-covered patio and landscaped grounds adds nature into the mix. The second-floor primary suite provides another romantic fireplace and a tiled ensuite bath with a dual-sink stone vanity, a soaking tub, and a glass-enclosed shower. A well-appointed walk-in closet adds a white-glove flourish. Three more comfortable bedrooms, a modern full bath, and a dedicated laundry room complete the layout of this gracious intown residence.
Sitting just off Blackstone Boulevard, 265 Slater Avenue is a fully renovated three-bedroom, two-bath, mid-century Ranch-style home reimagined by Annese Construction. The living room is flooded by natural light, while its gorgeous fireplace casts a pleasing glow. The adjacent dining room catches the eye with a large picture window. The eat-in kitchen provides informal dining and vivid recessed lighting. Walkout access to the serene sun porch lets guests enjoy nature views in an urban oasis. Tiled baths and a private study with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves lend more character to this unique home.
