About this home
An Oasis in the City! One-of-a-kind historic house with a huge backyard and additional lot in the trendy Armory District! This multi-family property combines historic character with thoughtful updates and flexible living space. The first-floor unit offers three bedrooms and one full bath, along with a spacious living room highlighted by a wood-burning stove, a formal dining room, and hardwood flooring throughout. A rear deck provides a wonderful outdoor extension of the living space, while convenient basement access includes laundry and additional storage potential. Upstairs, the second unit features a comfortable kitchen and living area, two bedrooms with carpeting, and one full bath. Outside, enjoy a fenced rear yard and the added benefit of an additional, separate 2000 sf buildable lot included with the sale. Ideally located and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Samuel Fiske House is a distinctive late Greek Revival/Italianate style property. Offering an excellent opportunity for an owner-occupant, multi-generational household, or investor seeking a character-filled two-family home in a desirable Providence location. * Some photos have been virtually staged.
Armory Historic District, located between Broadway and Cranston Street, is a historic and residential Providence neighborhood with brick Victorian streetscapes and a strong porch-and-stoop street life. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Dexter Park bandstand and the paths circling the pond, where dog walkers, pickup games, and weekend gatherings set the tempo. Long blocks of Queen Anne and Colonial Revival homes frame pocket gardens and small corner storefronts. The historic Cranston Street Armory anchors the skyline with fortress-like massing and drill-hall scale. On Westminster Street, New Harvest Coffee Roasters and The Avery set a low-key café-and-cocktail rhythm. AS220’s presence nearby keeps the arts current without changing the district’s lived-in feel.
