Once known as “Vinecroft,” the Lionel Champlin Guest House is a distinctive Victorian that has had only a handful of devoted owners in nearly 140 years. A multi-generational family or group of friends might find this the perfect place to enjoy seaside living all under one roof. A large family might love living in the center of beautiful Jamestown, a minutes’ walk to East Ferry and Narragansett Avenue or a 10-minute walk to just about everywhere else. It could continue its long history as a licensed B&B with six figure annual sales and significant upward potential. This unique home offers the warmth and character of a historical dwelling while benefiting from the extensive renovations in 1987 when it was stripped to the studs with new windows, plumbing and wiring. Since then, it has been meticulously maintained with 2 major renovations since 2019. The property boasts 7 unique ensuite bedrooms, a chef’s eat-in kitchen, a large sunroom with kitchen, living room, dining room, and family room, a dedicated laundry center in the middle of the property, and a full private apartment on the 3rd floor. The apartment has a full bathroom, half bath with laundry, and a small bonus room. Many rooms have a water view, some sweeping. Also featured are Navien tankless dual boiler system, a house generator, EV charger, 10 off street parking spots, and one of the best front porches in town. Take a look. It’s a special place.
