About this home
Aging like fine wine! Built in 1860, this classic two-family offers character, flexibility, and a rare chance to set your own course in South Kingstown. The location is hard to beat, just minutes from the shops and restaurants of downtown Wakefield and the town beach, with easy access to Route 1. Set on 0.45 acres, the up/down layout provides 2,211 square feet of combined living space across two separate units: Unit 1 has 5 rooms and 2 bedrooms, while Unit 2 has 5 rooms and 3 bedrooms. Each unit has a full bath and in-unit laundry. Both units are vacant, giving you the freedom to live in one and rent the other or lease both at your own rents. Practical features include municipal water and sewer, 200-amp electrical service, and a full unfinished basement with interior and exterior access. Occupancy is negotiable. Schedule your showing today!
Excellent opportunity to own in the center of downtown Wakefield. Commercially zoned and ready for a complete rehab so bring your ideas! Commercially zoned property so there is an opportunity for a condo conversion. Each unit has 2 bedrooms and 1 bath with a large yard. Home is being sold "as is" which includes the contents of the home. Great opportunity for an investor.

This is the central business district of the town which developed along Wakefield's Main Street and adjacent side streets, from approximately Belmont Avenue to Holley Street and in the central portion of Peace Dale. The CD district is characterized by buildings with little or no setback requirements or off-street parking, a mix of land uses, and a pedestrian scale. Numerous historic structures exist as well as new buildings and reconstructed properties. It is important for this district to maintain its historic qualities and Main Street character. It includes small-scale retail centers designed to provide local business service to the town. The primary uses in this district are neighborhood retail, commercial offices, restaurant and entertainment, and may include residential uses.
