The Property

The John Mawney House is the oldest residence on Historic Benefit Street in its original location. A classic 18th-century Rhode Island five-room plan, it is built around a central chimney with seven fireplaces. A three-story ell was added in 1817. Listed on the National and Rhode Island State Registers of Historic Places, it also received a Providence Preservation Society plaque.

Much of the original interior woodwork remains, including period over-mantels, dentil moldings, wooden shutters, a rock maple staircase, and wide-board pine floors. The 1st floor features a sunlit double-parlor living room, library, dining room, eat-in kitchen and a 1/2 bath. The 2nd floor offers 4 well-proportioned bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite, and 2 full baths. A walk-up attic allows expansion, while the lower level has a laundry room and street-level space with full windows and a door, ideal for an office or family room. The ?-acre Landscape Garden has 4 terraces: an 18th-century Parterre Garden, a Vegetable Garden with espaliered fruit trees, a Lawn with Perennial Border, a shaded Pergola Dining Area and Grape Arbor, and a Woodland Garden with a water feature, and meandering paths leading to a Garden Shed with a two-car garage above, exiting onto Pratt Street. Bordered by The Mary Elizabeth Sharpe Park and Prospect Terrace, the property offers privacy and rare urban open space. A unique opportunity to own a historic East Side gem. (Pending before print).
