Welcome to 48 Lloyd Avenue, one of the gems of Providence residential architecture. Originally built for lumber dealer Edward Sutton in 1853, this grand, 6,000 square foot house combines elements of the Italianate and Second Empire styles. Architectural features include a bracketed hood above the central 2nd story window and a balustrated Doric entrance porch, slated mansard roof and eyebrow window.

The stately first floor offers a living room, dining room and parlor all with high ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors and fireplaces. A spacious family room, sun-filled, Anne Grasso designed kitchen with built in banquet and half bath complete the first floor.

The second floor living quarters include a master suite with a fireplace in the bedroom, walk in closet, and bath with separate tub and shower. Three more bedrooms, a family bathroom and a large storage closet complete the second floor.  One of the second floor bedrooms offers access to the porch above the front entrance.

Within the distinctive mansard roof, the full third floor offers a large room with a walk in closet that is currently used as a home office, but could be a large bedroom. There is another bedroom and down the hall a self-contained apartment with a bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette: perfect for an au pair or guests!

A gracious and private blue stone patio wraps around the side and back of the house, which is located near the corner of Prospect and Lloyd in the heart of College Hill, near Brown, RISD, the train station and down city Providence.

What an opportunity to acquire a piece of Providence history in the very best of locations!
