30 Royal Street

Set in Providence's Mount Hope neighborhood, this thoughtfully improved two-family pairs the character of an older East Side home with an extensive list of updates made for owner-occupant living. The first-floor unit features a new kitchen with maple countertops and appliances, new hardwood flooring, a tiled bath, reclaimed antique doors, and in-unit laundry. Upstairs, the spacious townhouse-style second unit spans two floors and is filled with distinctive details, including refinished original floors, vintage lighting, skylights, custom radiator covers, and reclaimed antique doors. Its trim, baseboards, window casings, beadboard, and built-in entry bench were salvaged from a historic Newton mansion, adding craftsmanship and character rarely found in a multi-family. The unit also offers an updated kitchen with maple countertops, tiled baths, and third-floor laundry. Improvements extend well beyond the interior with a new roof, all new windows, improved insulation, full exterior painting, repointed foundation brickwork, repaired porches, and a refinished front staircase. The landscaped backyard has been designed with separate patio spaces for each apartment, giving both units their own place to enjoy outdoors. Just steps from Frank & Laurie's, Oak Bake Shop, neighborhood parks, and everything that makes the East Side so desirable, this is a special opportunity for an owner-occupant or investor looking for a property where much of the work has already been done.
