Residential Properties Ltd. is pleased to announce the sale of the distinguished Mawney Carpenter House at 16 18 Halsey Street, located on Providence’s coveted East Side, for $1,575,000. RPL Sales Associate Gerri Schiffman represented the buyer in this transaction, securing a remarkable Colonial-style residence in the heart of College Hill.
Steeped in history, this three-family home was originally situated on North Main Street and relocated to its current location in 1973. Nestled on an expansive 10,000-square-foot lot just off Benefit Street, the property presents a rare opportunity for College Hill living, offering both the option to owner-occupy and to generate rental income with three independent units.
The interiors of the main house exude timeless elegance, from the curved staircase and inlay flooring to the fireplace-warmed living room, setting a refined tone. On the second floor, the primary suite charms with its own fireplace, a spacious dressing room, a laundry room, and an en suite bath. Two additional bedrooms, a second full bath, and a cedar closet round out the second level, while the third floor offers an additional two bedrooms and ample storage space.
Complementing the main residence is a ground-level unit with two bedrooms—perfect for an in-law suite or tenant accommodation. Outdoors, a private patio, a secluded yard, and a two-car detached garage with a lofted studio provide further versatility and aesthetic appeal.
