This benchmark 3-family home in the Historic Armory District has been lovingly restored, and continuously cared for, by the same owners for 38 years. Built in 1894, the Franklin E. Winsor House is a picture-perfect Victorian triple-decker with spacious units and tons of natural light. For almost 4 decades, the first-floor unit has been owner-occupied; this gorgeous space features a custom-built kitchen, central AC, incredible woodwork, and an amazing tin ceiling in the dining room. The first- and second-floor units both feature 2 bedrooms, double parlors, formal dining rooms, dedicated porches, and tons of historic details and charm, including beautiful hardwood inlays. The third-floor unit is a sweet 2-bed space that also has central AC. Additional amenities include a lovely backyard and patio with in-ground irrigation, off-street parking, a younger roof, and a newer exterior paint job. Located in Providence’s vibrant West End, this incredible home is blocks away from Dexter Park, and moments away from some of the city’s best restaurants, shops, and entertainment spots.
