Everyone loves a great front porch—and this one delivers. Set in the heart of Edgewood, 161 Ferncrest Ave is a classic 1924 bungalow with historic charm, thoughtful updates, and a backyard that feels like a gardener’s oasis in the city. Inside, you’ll find original hardwood floors throughout and a layout that makes smart use of the space. The kitchen features granite countertops, an island, and a large glass slider that opens to a spacious deck—creating an easy connection between indoor and outdoor living. A separate dining room, front living area, and welcoming entryway offer just the right balance of openness and defined rooms. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a full bathroom with laundry—a practical upgrade that makes daily routines a little easier. The finished lower level adds a second full bathroom with laundry, a bonus room with a gas stove, and plenty of storage, making it an ideal flex space for guests, hobbies, or working from home. Additional highlights include a 13-year-old roof, replacement windows, gas heat, and a fabulous backyard with native plantings and a large storage shed. Off-street parking and a manageable exterior round out this lovely home. An ideal location, Edgewood is one of Cranston’s most desirable neighborhoods—just minutes from Pawtuxet Village, Garden City, and downtown Providence.
