"We have had very competitive bids and will end up well over the list price," says listing agent Rachael Dotson, of Residential Properties, Ltd. "We had some creatives, some well known Rhode Island business people, old-home enthusiasts, and people coming from the Boston market to look at the home. The commonality was that the home needs little renovations to bring it to modern day."
"They have lived there for nearly 32 years and when they bought it, it was divided into three small apartments," Dotson says. "They transformed it into a single-family residence by taking out walls and going back to its original layout. He's a carpenter and she's an artist, and I think you can see that throughout the home. It feels very preserved inside."
Currently offering five bedrooms upstairs, Dotson says the flexible configuration could easily be modified to suit the next buyer's needs. "The upstairs lends itself to a large master suite," she notes. "There is also space for a home office and a movie theater as well."
The house was built in 1868 for Mr. (Amos Chaffee) Barstow, who was the founder of The Barstow Stove Company," Dotson adds.
