I am pleased to share this late Victorian in East Lawrence within the South Rhode Island Historic District. The home is a contributing structure within the district. It features recent improvements including a renovated kitchen and bathrooms. There is original flooring, trim and stained glass near the gorgeous newel post which will help make it an easy decision for the lucky next steward. Bonus: Best of show deck and fully fenced backyard. Super close proximity to South Park and downtown will heighten...I am pleased to share this late Victorian in East Lawrence within the South Rhode Island Historic District. The home is a contributing structure within the district. It features recent improvements including a renovated kitchen and bathrooms. There is original flooring, trim and stained glass near the gorgeous newel post which will help make it an easy decision for the lucky next steward. Bonus: Best of show deck and fully fenced backyard. Super close proximity to South Park and downtown will heighten your "pleasure meter." The description on the Historic Register nomination reads, "This property retains a high degree of integrity." I concur. Showings begin Saturday, Dec. 13 and yours truly hosting an open house from 2:00 - 3:30 the same day. Who's next?
