About this property

Historic Farmhouse @ Prime Location near Brown Univ. Exquisite & Unique #USA1731

** Click the Virtual Tour button above for a 360-degree experience **

The historic Cole farmhouse may be the oldest standing house in Providence.
It boasts spectacular chimneys, wide-plank flooring, and striking period features. The open rustic layout includes all modern amenities you could need, including large modern kitchen, king-size bed, washer/ dryer, dishwasher, Air purifiers, high-speed WiFi and much more.

Located in the most desirable neighborhood in Providence, near coffee shops, artisan stores, and restaurants — less than 2 miles from Brown University and RISD. The serene cul-de-sac where Cole Farm is nestled retains the quiet, warm and relaxed atmosphere of the historic farm.

Our large yard is shaded by magnificent old walnut trees. Enjoy the beautiful porch overlooking the front yard, and the large deck in the backyard. You are welcome to play with the chickens, pick fresh vegetables from our garden and enjoy our fresh farm eggs.

If you are into architectural history this will be a very special place. While the magnificent chimneys, wide floor boards and vintage bathroom retain the farmhouse feel, you'll enjoy a fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances for a most comfortable stay.

The master bedroom has king-size bed with an adjustable base -- perfect for a good night’s sleep.

Located in the East Side, only 2 blocks off Blackstone Boulevard (known just as "the boulevard' to locals), with a 2 mile running/walking track in the middle of a street of lovely homes. A ten-minute walk takes you to Hope St, where you find lots of restaurants, Seven Stars bakery (one of the very best in the USA), lovely independent shops and a public library.

Farmhouse stay
We had a great time and were most impressed with host Ronnie who was so focused on attention to detail, making us feel at home, and even bought a crib and mattress for my toddler. Wonderful time. Loved the farm fresh eggs and the chickens!!

Charming House
Ronnie is an exceptional host. He had a bottle of wine on the table when we arrived, and delivered fresh eggs from his chickens every day. The kitchen and bathrooms are well equiped and there is a washer and dryer. There is a deck behind the house that we used every evening. Another plus is the neighborhood, it is very walkable and beautiful. We will certainly stay there again the next time we are in town. Highly recommended!
