The Wheeler Lodge is a 1900 Arts and Crafts bungalow on a quarter-acre lot in the Edgewood section of Cranston, offered fully furnished for the 2026 2027 academic year (September through June). 4,031 square feet across three floors with four bedrooms, three full baths, and two dedicated home offices. Original woodwork, stained glass, and built-ins are intact throughout, complemented by a thoughtful program of recent renovations including a custom 2025 third-floor primary suite with vaulted ceilings, exposed rafters, and a hand-finished Moroccan tadelakt plaster shower. The updated kitchen features a soapstone island, induction range, Bosch dishwasher, hanging pot rack, and amber-glass cabinetry. A working Jotul wood stove and a ceiling-mounted projector anchor the living room; a sunroom with windows on three sides serves as a quiet workspace or breakfast nook. Tastefully furnished vintage rugs over original hardwood, warmer wall color in a few of the rooms, a comfortable mix of modern and older pieces. Stylish but understated. Verizon Fios gigabit internet supports a household of remote workers in parallel. Radiator heat plus a minisplit in the primary suite; central A/C on the second floor. Rooftop solar offsets a portion of the home's electric usage. Outside, the quarter-acre lot reflects years of careful, intentional planting under a mature oak canopy. A productive orchard cherry, sour cherry, apple, peach, dwarf Asian pear, and elderberry plus concord grape vines, dogwood, a native-grass front meadow, bamboo, rosehip, and raised vegetable beds. Tenants are welcome to harvest what ripens during the lease. A fenced backyard with a height-adjustable basketball hoop in the driveway, a deep wraparound front porch for evenings, a back patio for outdoor dining among the oaks, and off-street parking for 5 6 cars. The neighborhood: Edgewood is one of Cranston's most walkable areas, anchored on one end by Roger Williams Park (435 acres, zoo, planetarium, Japanese garden) and on the other by historic Pawtuxet Village with its restaurants, cafes, marinas, and salt marsh. Ten minutes by car to downtown Providence, Brown University, and RISD; ten minutes to T.F.
