2944 Diamond Hill Road, Cumberland, RI
The classic charm and elegance of this 19th century home awaits!
This landmark home served as the original residence of the Thompson Family, namesake of Thompson Hill and early Rhode Island entrepreneurs. In the late 1700s and early 1800s, the Thompsons ship mast building enterprise functioned on the property producing hand-crafted masts that were transported to the Blackstone River, floated downstream to Providence and offered commercially to ship builders along the Eastern seashore.
In 1842 during the Rhode Island Dorrs Rebellion, a hidden space within the inner corridor of the six fireplace central pyramid served as a safe refuge for the homeowners when angry immigrants attacked the home and other wealthy landowners over the states restrictive voting rights laws.
As you enter into the stately foyer, you notice classic elements of this Diamond Hill residence, such as a winding wood stair case, hardwood flooring and moldings, all refinished and restored. From the foyer one may enter the living room open to the newly remodeled kitchen with all new appliances, marble counter tops, a large central granite island with bar sink, and beautiful wood cabinetry as well as excellent views of the impressive back yard. A convenient half bath with new washer/dryer sits conveniently off the kitchen area. The kitchen also looks out into an additional sitting area. A 28 x 12 back mahogany deck with a natural gas built-in grill was added three years ago. Sand stonework topped with thick granite forms sitting benches and decorative lighting posts around the deck area perfect for entertaining.
Nearby is the classic dining area featuring chair railing and period lighting in addition to the fireplace refuge that came in handy in 1842. As you find your way upstairs, the master bedroom has hardwood flooring, a renovated master bathroom and a spacious layout, impressive for this time period. Also on the second level is an additional bedroom, a den and an office that offers plenty of space and entry to the third level. This renovated floor offer two additional bedrooms with exposed original beams, recessed lighting and excellent closet space.
Long-time local residents may remember visiting the in-law apartment years ago when it served as a hometown dental office. The apartment now has a full kitchen with new, energy efficient washer/dryer, a parlor/dining area with antique stove/fireplace, a bedroom, full bathroom and an office.
