Property Description
Built in 1774, the remarkable John Jenckes House is one of the few historic gambrel-roofed wooden buildings remaining in Providence. The home underwent an amazing renovation just six years ago, during which time thoughtful attention was paid to the historical details. The home has original wide-board floors, a large central chimney, and six fireplaces. The original kitchen (now a dining room and sitting room) has a huge fireplace with an original beehive oven. The recent updates include a fabulous chef’s kitchen, 4.1 new bathrooms, and modern mechanicals with a 7-zone Weissman boiler and 2-zone A/C. Both the kitchen addition and the sitting area have French doors opening to the patio and fenced yard. The house has a versatile layout that accommodates home offices, a third-floor guest or nanny quarters, and loads of storage. The main bedroom has a large, gorgeous bathroom, as well as a walk-in closet. This is a unique opportunity to live in a lovely historic home and not have to do a thing - it has all been done beautifully. Walk to downtown, the train station, Waterfire, Brown, RISD, and Johnson and Wales Universities.
