It is “described by many as the most beautiful and historic home in Providence,” according to the Airbnb listing, which lists amenities including breakfast, heating, hangers, and a fire extinguisher.

It was on the market for $5.5 million but was purchased for a discount price of just $4,600,000 last December.

Purchased as LLC -- Now Up for Rent

The buyer on the title was the Global Fellows, LLC. and the man behind the company is Lorne Adrain -- the businessman and one-time candidate for mayor of Providence.

The organization's mission is "to identify people engaged in bold and courageous social change and to help them accelerate their effectiveness and advance their mission wherever in the world it might be."

"By my 100th birthday in 2054, to have contributed to the success of over 1000 Global Fellows In Courage, helping them lead social change and inspire others to do the same," says Adrain of his goal with Global Fellows.

Adrain could not be reached for comment.

The estate was previously owned by the late publisher of the Providence Journal’s family trust — the Stephen Hamblett Trust.

The Williams Street House was designed by John Holden Greene and was built in 1810 and consists of nearly 12,000 square feet of living space. The taxes — just $67,116 per year.

The house is a historic marvel and its size and scope are unmatched in Providence.

12,669 living space

The first floor is over 4,400 square feet

The upper floors are more than 8,200 square feet

6 bedrooms — two of which are master suites

9 bathrooms

A walled in courtyard

A stable complete with stalls

Separate caterers kitchen

A sauna and complete gym

According to the Society of Architectural Historians:

The Corliss-Carrington House, which stands immediately behind the Nightingale-Brown House. Built-in 1810 for John Corliss and originally two stories high, the house was purchased as early as 1812 by Edward Carrington, who added the third story, kitchen ell, and barn. Most conspicuously, he provided the distinctive four-bay, two-tier porch, with its unusual balustrading of circles and compass-like stars, as the centerpiece for the front elevation. Southern in flavor, it is another reminder of connections between Rhode Island and the plantation South.

A small wing on the building's northeast corner served as Carrington's office. It communicated with the house but segregated business callers from family and guests. The interior (not open to the public) is little altered and retains most of its original Dufour and Chinese wallpapers installed by Carrington. Like all the so-called China Trade houses, this still has its stables and outbuildings intact, itself a remarkable phenomenon.
