2 George Street - Providence, RI

Located at probably the best address on the East Side for proximity to everything Providence, this beautiful Brick Federal masterpiece offers its owners the opportunity to be at the center of society. Brown, RISD, and Downtown Providence are literally at your doorstep.

The wonderful structure was built for Eliza Ward by her father, Joseph Brown in 1814, and you will feel that era when you first view the most significant interior feature from Eliza Ward's ownership. That is, the Early 19th Century French scenic wallpaper in the two parlors which have been lovingly preserved and cared for by the home's owners. A major restoration to preserve this historical gem was completed within the last ten years and the residence is a frequent request for Providence Preservation Society's Tours of Homes.

Besides the beauty of the parlors, elegance of the dining room, the dreaminess of the downstairs library, and exquisite charm of the butler's pantry, the living quarters in this spacious home are adequate for nearly any household. The master suite with its southwest view of the city and environs is a sumptuous retreat from the hustle and bustle of the nearby downtown. There are ample rooms for other bedrooms, offices or even art studios.

The near downtown area of Benefit Street is close to everything. The state courthouse is across the street, College Street, one of the main arteries into the downtown area, and the Providence Athenaeum, one of the earliest private libraries in the country, are a block away. If you work downtown, you would never need to worry about parking, since you could easily walk to the office. Think of those spring, summer and fall days which start and end with a 10 to 15 minute stroll followed by a relaxing evening in the private garden for starlit hors d'oeuvres and dinner.
