Zechariah Chaffee Jr House ca 1888. This exceptional house sits on a beautifully landscaped one-half acre lot atop College Hill on the East Side of Providence. Moved to the corner of Hope and George Streets in 1977, this one of a kind home is sited high on the lot and offers close proximity to all the wonderful academic, cultural and dining experiences the East Side has to offer. The original architectural details are intact with soaring ceilings, crown moldings, 4 fireplaces, pocket doors and beautiful hardwood floors. Updates include an expanded kitchen with built in seating and oversized island, natural quartzite counters, 6 burner Wolf cooktop, a wall of custom built-ins in the oversized first floor family room, updated bathrooms with marble and tile, all new Pella windows throughout, new mechanicals including radiant heat in the kitchen and bathroom. Throughout the home you see thoughtful renovations that showcase fine craftsmanship, excellent design choices, and quality materials. A two-story garage was built in 2015 offering 2 car parking, a large loft space to create the studio, office or game room of your dreams, and a built-in grilling station under the garage breezeway. All this plus lush landscaping, flowering trees and shrubs, exposed aggregate concrete driveway with landscaped island, and landscape lighting.
