PROVIDENCE – A Spanish Revival home on Providence’s East Side recently sold for $3.23 million, making it the second-highest residential sale in the city so far this year, according to Residential Properties Ltd., citing Rhode Island Statewide Multiple Listing Service data.
The four-bedroom home at 612 Elmgrove Ave. was originally built in 1930 and was extensively renovated by Providence-based design and development firm Hill & Harbor. The real estate firm said the renovation reimagined the home’s layout around a custom kitchen, featuring a 10-foot island wrapped on three sides with Calacatta Macchia Vecchia marble, walnut cabinetry, steel windows and a built-in bench seating.

Residential Properties said the project also transformed the interior by combining previously separate spaces to create a large great room with 10-foot ceilings and expanded natural light.
The redesign also included the creation of a second primary suite on the second floor, while an addition made way for a new primary bedroom featuring two walk-in closets, beamed ceilings and a renovated bathroom.
The basement level was rebuilt to provide additional living space and a second half-bathroom, the real estate firm said, adding that the property also features multiple courtyards, copper gutters and landscaped grounds centered around what the firm described as Providence’s oldest oak tree.

The residence includes four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, one half-bathroom and two fireplaces.
