The space
Gorgeous, updated 18th century home with exposed ceiling beams & modern amenities. Built by Simeon Ingraham, this house illustrates the craftsmanship of an old home with new appliances, restored windows, and creature comforts.

This home is in the beautiful historic neighborhood of Benefit Street at the intersection of College Hill, Fox Point, and Downtown.

The guest apartment is located on the ground floor, with its own entrance. The ceiling and door heights are low by modern standards - people 6ft+ be advised.

Exposed ceiling beams and a fireplace with a firewood electric space heater and Roku TV make this a perfect respite for cozy winter days and nights. A new, quiet AC keeps you cool in an inviting summer escape.

Hi there! I am a designer and deeply appreciate a well-thought-out tool, environment, or experience. I currently reside in Providence, RI, and have lived in MA, Paris, San Francisco, Denver, and New York City. I am enchanted with this “Creative Capital”, the surprising glimpses of murals around town, the waterfront running trails, gorgeous old architecture, and the abundance of great spots to dine and drink.
