247 Oaklawn AVE Cranston, RI 02920

Set back on a hill with private acreage bordering the state bike path, this 1879 Victorian with Queen Anne architecture provides allure throughout with Palladian windows, marble fireplaces, original oak parquet floors, and 10-foot ceilings. The entry opens to a wrap-around sunroom with 4 transom archways connecting to the spacious, fireplaced living room. Walkout access to the lush backyard with large, leafy trees adds tranquility, while steps leading up to an expansive, split-level composite back deck with gazebo allows for alfresco dining and engaging with friends. Walk back inside to find a lovely, updated kitchen lending cherry cabinets and stainless steel appliances sitting just off the fireplaced, coffered-ceiling dining room. Upstairs, the primary suite showcases a delightful ensuite bath with dual sinks and a deep soaking jacuzzi tub. Two more comfortable bedrooms each enjoy a dedicated full bath. Steps to the third floor segue to another bedroom for guests with a full bath and plenty of storage, plus a large media room usable as an additional bedroom. A similar mix of style and function graces the finished lower level with an exercise room and rec room. A new roof in 2021, repaved driveways, and a front deck provide crisp style and maximum function. Close to Meshanticut Park, the home offers a sublime location near the dining and retail of Garden City and, just 15 minutes away downtown Providence and the commuter rail.
