This light-filled historic gem offers an abundance of versatile living space, blending timeless character with modern comfort in the heart of Providence's coveted Fox Point neighborhood, moments from Brown University. The stately front door opens to gleaming wide-plank floors and a set of French doors leading to a sun-soaked living room with custom built-ins. The updated kitchen showcases an eat-in island, ample cabinetry, stainless appliances, and a spacious pantry + laundry room. The 1st floor also has a gracious dining room anchored by an original hearth; two bedrooms or home offices; and a thoughtfully renovated full bath. The 2nd floor offers 3 generously sized bedrooms with original hearths, plus a custom-built walk-in closet. The 2nd-floor bath has been fully updated, with Carrara marble and beautifully exposed brick. The 3rd floor offers additional flex space perfect for a home office, studio, or playroom. Built in 1832, the James Barney House features a newer high-efficiency Viessmann heating system and 2 levels of central AC. Step out back to your own private oasis with established perennial beds, a brick walkway, and a charming bluestone patio. Tucked on a quiet street just around the corner from the amazing shops, cafes, and eateries of Hope, Wickenden, and Ives Streets (and just a stone's throw from some of PVD's best restaurants including Persimmon & Dolores) this spectacular home is also blocks from India Point Park and a new state-of-the-art playground.
