Landmark Federal home on College Hill offers a unique opportunity to own an important piece of Providence history. The Captain George Benson House, ca 1794, on land purchased from Moses Brown, was built at the peak of College Hill overlooking downtown Providence and the East Side. The large gated property provides an oasis of privacy and each window offers a view of the city skyline, East Side or the parklike grounds. The design of the home is conservative but elegant with fine architectural details throughout including 6 fireplaces, sconces, historic mural, detailed moldings, high ceilings and spacious rooms. This home is ideally located to provide close proximity to all the dining, shopping, educational and cultural amenities of the Renaissance City. Cosmetic and structural work is needed to bring the home up to current standards but the fine construction is a solid foundation.
