For the first time in five decades, this property is available for purchase — a truly unique Tudor-style 4-unit estate set on a lush corner lot in the heart of Providence. This rare offering includes a gracious 3-level owner’s townhouse, two 1-bedroom units, and a spacious ground-level apartment — all imbued with classic architectural charm and functional versatility. The home’s Tudor heritage shines through in its steeply pitched gables, half-timber accents, brick and wrought iron details, and private balconies — all awaiting thoughtful restoration. Just minutes from downtown, local universities, hospitals, and transit, this is a one-of-a-kind chance to own a legacy property with architectural depth and long-term potential.
