THE REMARKABLE JOHN JENCKES HOUSE WAS BUILT IN 1774 AND IS ONE OF THE FEW LARGE GAMBREL-ROOFED HISTORIC WOODEN BUILDINGS REMAINING IN PROVIDENCE. THE HOME UNDERWENT AN AMAZING RENOVATION 6 YEARS AGO, DURING WHICH TIME THOUGHTFUL ATTENTION WAS PAID TO THE HISTORICAL DETAILS. THE HOME HAS ORIGINAL WIDE-BOARD FLOORS, LARGE CENTRAL CHIMNEY, AND 6 FIREPLACES. THE ORIGINAL KITCHEN (NOW A DINING ROOM AND SITTING ROOM) HAS A HUGE FIREPLACE WITH ORIGINAL BEEHIVE OVEN. THE RECENT UPDATES INCLUDE A FABULOUS CHEF'S KITCHEN, 4 1/2 NEW BATHROOMS AND MODERN MECHANICALS, WITH A 7-ZONE WEISSMAN BOILER AND 2-ZONE A/C. BOTH THE KITCHEN ADDITION AND THE SITTING AREA HAVE FRENCH DOORS OPENING TO THE PATIO AND FENCED YARD. THE HOUSE HAS A VERSATILE LAYOUT WHICH ACCOMMODATES HOME OFFICES, 3RD FLOOR GUEST OR NANNY QUARTERS, AND LOADS OF STORAGE. THE MAIN BEDROOM HAS A LARGE, GORGEOUS BATHROOM AS WELL AS A WALK-IN CLOSET. THE LAUNDRY IS CONVENIENTLY LOCATED ON THE 2ND FLOOR. THIS IS AN UNUSUAL OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE IN A LOVELY HISTORIC HOME AND NOT HAVE TO DO A THING - IT HAS ALL BEEN DONE BEAUTIFULLY.
