Welcome to 198 University Ave., a beautifully maintained picture perfect Colonial tucked away on one of Wayland Square’s most coveted streets. From its picture-perfect curb appeal—complete with a rocking-chair front porch, green shutters, and lush landscaping—to its warm and inviting interior, this home offers timeless charm and graceful living. Inside, you’re welcomed by a lovely front hall that opens to a spacious living room, flowing seamlessly into the dining room, kitchen and sunroom. Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms and a full bath, while the finished lower level adds a recreation room, a laundry area with a bonus shower, and plenty of storage. Step outside to a fully fenced, beautifully landscaped backyard with a brick patio—your own private retreat. A detached 1-car garage and private driveway provide added convenience. Located in the heart of walkable Wayland Square, you’re just steps from the neighborhood’s beloved shops, cafes, and restaurants, as well as the scenic Blackstone Boulevard walking trail. This is a rare opportunity to own a truly special home in one of Providence’s most desirable locations.
