1724 South Road South Kingstown

Historic details abound, from the wood shingle exterior and impressive stone fireplace to the oldest surviving gingerbread ovens in America, once tended by Stephen “Baker” Greene. Lovingly restored for year-round living, the home offers steam heat, supplemental electric heat, a newer hot water heater, 200-amp electrical service, and an oil-fired heating system installed in 2006, with natural gas available at the street. Cedar roofs and copper flashing add lasting durability. A detached two-car garage with separate electrical service and office space offers flexibility for a workshop, studio, home business, or potential ADU, subject to approvals. Located within the Historic District and walking distance to Kingston Village and the University of Rhode Island, The Gem at Little Rest offers a rare combination of history, character, flexibility, and modern convenience.
