1162 Douglas Pike

Rare opportunity to own a piece of Rhode Island history. Located in the heart of Smithfield, this classic Cape Cod-style residence remarkably predates the founding of the United States. While not designated as a historical landmark offering more flexibility for future renovations the home is being offered on the public market for the first time in its multi-century history. The property is situated on a sprawling 1.20-acre lot, providing a private, expansive landscape that is increasingly difficult to find in this area. Whether you are an investor looking for a high-potential project or a visionary buyer seeking a deep-equity deal, this estate offers a unique canvas to blend 18th-century character with modern updates. Please note that this is an estate sale subject to probate court approval. Due to the home's original condition, the sale is restricted to cash or conventional financing, as the property will not qualify for FHA or VA loans. Sold in "as-is" condition, this is a true "diamond in the rough" opportunity for those ready to preserve a legacy while building immediate value. Bring your tools and your imagination to a Smithfield original that has waited hundreds of years for its next chapter.
