40 Oriole Avenue

Providence, RI 02906

Welcome to the Ella and John Allen House ca. 1898, designed by Providence architect Frederick Field. Located in the heart of Paterson Park, this home has been thoroughly and carefully restored at the highest standard by its current owners. Custom woodwork has been added to yield an incredible kitchen, a butler's pantry with wet bar, a cozy main level family room, and extensive library shelving complete with rolling ladder housed in the spacious 2nd floor center hall. Every bathroom is exquisite, every light fixture chosen with care. Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems have all been replaced along with the home's roofing, copper gutters, and downspouts. The windows and exterior clapboards have been fully restored. A recently completed finished lower level offers a gorgeous laundry room, an exercise room with sauna, and a second family room. Outdoor living is enhanced by a private patio, irrigated gardens, and an expansive south-facing 10' X 30' mahogany front porch covered by a handsome standing seam copper roof. The property's convenient location at the eastern edge of Providence's East Side neighborhood uniquely abuts both Wayland Square and Blackstone Park, a 45-acre green oasis located alongside the Seekonk River. Rarely does a home offer such a successful combination of original detail and phenomenal renovation, each room of this grand, historic Victorian infused with warmth and whimsy.
