RPL’s Greene | Sweeney Closes Sale of Historic Freeman Plat “Winkler House”

Residential Properties Ltd. is proud to announce the sale of 270 Freeman Parkway on Providence’s East Side for $1.56 million. RPL Sales Associates Kira Greene and Michael J. Sweeney of the Greene | Sweeney Team represented the buyer in this transaction.  

According to State-Wide MLS data, RPL has now participated in 34 of the 36 single-family home sales over $1 million in Providence this year, with Greene | Sweeney representing 22 of those sales as the #1 Luxury Team in Providence. 

The Harry & Bessie Winkler House c. 1929 is an elegant and stately brick Colonial Revival home in one of the East Side's most desirable neighborhoods. A "down to the studs" renovation by the current owners in 2010 and additional updates in 2019 gracefully blend the beauty of the property's original architectural details with modern amenities. The first floor features a lovely white marble chef's kitchen that opens to a gorgeous formal dining area, as well as a built-in breakfast area/banquette incorporated into a den. A front-to-back living room with a large Regency carved mantel fireplace, curved windows, and applied moldings lends high glamour. A sunroom with oversized windows and marble floors has French doors opening to a lush backyard. The second-floor primary suite offers a dazzling chevron-tiled white quartz bath. Two additional bedrooms and a shared bath with laundry round out the second floor. A third-floor suite provides two offices and a full bath, while the lower level delights with a sleek media room lounge and wet bar, a half bath, and playroom with its own built-in media center. A meticulously landscaped private yard with mature plantings, patio space, and a detached two-car garage with a storage loft complete this stunning property. Located in the Freeman Plat Historic District, the property is blocks from the campuses of Brown University and RISD. Denizens of the area explore Blackstone Boulevard and Lippitt Park with its weekend farmers markets, as well as the dining and unique shops of Hope Village and Wayland Square. A 10-minute drive to the Providence train station allows for easy travel throughout the Northeast Corridor.
