The Valentine Whitman House built c.1696 is 1 of 14 surviving "Stone Enders" remaining in Rhode Island - charaterized by its massive granite stone lining the chimney on one side of the home. It was exceptionally restored in 2022 by Preserve RI and Heritage Restoration. You'll be enamored by the preservation of its original pine floors, ornamental fireplaces and restored windows. Dressed in natural light, enjoy a bright space with a comfortable floor plan. With 3 bedrooms and a Den, 2.5 baths and decorative fireplaces abound, you'll find yourself right at home. The kitchen was artfully crafted to be immersive and enjoyed for everyday use, whilst admiring period features. Restoration was extensively planned to preserve yesterday's charm while providing today's modern comforts. In 2022, top of the line red cedar shake roof was put on and sophisticated Unico (small duct high velocity) HVAC installed throughout the home with a Viessmann heating system. The home was connected to public water and sewer to enjoy amenities of the surrounding neighborhood - with an artisanal well still remaining on the property and in use to water its loving gardens. Boasting 1.09 acre, enjoy a brand new stunning crushed lavender colored stone circle drive, partial privacy/perimeter fencing and find another vegetable garden along the rear corner of the lot. Are you looking to be a part of something bigger? Preservation forward, The Valentine Whitman House is ready for its new stewards.
