About this home

Back on the market with major updates! Charming colonial in Providence's popular Elmhurst neighborhood, featuring new stainless steel appliances, a fully repainted interior and exterior, and all-new electrical wiring throughout. The roof is only 8 years old, and the boiler is 6 years old. You’ll love the spacious living room and charming brick fireplace and mantel (currently not active for wood burning). The formal dining room features original glass built-ins and lots of sunny windows! The kitchen opens to an enclosed back porch, and the fully fenced backyard offers plenty of green space and a detached garage. Upstairs, 3 cheerful bedrooms offer extra-large closets and a renovated full bath. The basement holds more finished space, including a bedroom, family room, a second full bath, and great storage. Fully refreshed and updated, this home is a tremendous value for someone looking to downsize or buy an affordable first home. 52 Forbes is a charmer on a tree-lined street, near schools, universities, parks, and transportation.
