261 Benefit Street, 3 Athenaeum Row, a Providence landmark built in 1845, was beautifully reimagined and converted to condominiums by a local historical developer in 2006. The elegant 2-story interior floor plan of Unit 3 is an exceptional example of adaptive reuse of an historical property. Ten-foot ceilings and three oversized windows in the main living room and adjoining dining area create a dramatic openness within the classic Greek Revival style. The redesigned kitchen features custom cabinetry, Carrara marble countertops, farmhouse sink, glass-front Sub-Zero refrigerator, and custom designed china cabinet. A sitting room/library with a large skylight and 15-foot ceiling leads into the master suite. The guest suite with French doors has its own private bath. Upstairs laundry includes a brand new top-of-the-line Miele washer and dryer. This sophisticated residence offers views of city lights at night and Brown, RISD, WaterFire, and the arts just outside your front door. Assigned off-street parking conveniently located a block away and leased through October 2021.
