The Property Description:

For antique house lovers, Rhode Island is a treasure trove, filled with historic structures dating back to before the founding of our country. However, it is not every day that one of these unique properties becomes available on the market. Originally built in 1710, the Waterman-Winsor House in Smithfield was home to Rhode Island’s Apple King, T.K. Winsor, in the early 20th century. Featuring spacious rooms with original wide-plank hardwood floors, this wonderful house has been meticulously restored under the guidance of Rhode Island’s foremost restoration architects and preservation craftsmen. Together with a gambrel-roofed ell, the 18th-century details remain throughout, including two massive chimneys and eight working fireplaces, pine floors, paneled doors, 12-over-12 windows, beveled gunstock posts & beams, beaded casings, and hardware. The first floor has two front parlors, a dining room, guest bedroom, huge “keeping”/family room with fireplace and wood stove, a small kitchen with laundry, and a lavatory. A large master suite, with full bath and walk-in closet, is on the second floor along with a sitting room, two double bedrooms, and a second full bath. With three barns arranged in a semi-circle around the house, there is plenty of room for cars, storage, the making of maple syrup, or even an artist’s studio. One barn, a former cider mill, boasts a heated workshop/office. Two apple trees, a Snow Apple & a Golden Delicious, remain from the heyday of the RI Apple King and are still producing apples! This welcoming and important historical and architecturally distinctive property is listed on the very prestigious National Register of Historic Places. Feel at home in the inviting warmth and character of Colonial America with modern amenities, including a greenhouse addition with radiant heat.
