A classic 18th century Rhode Island five-room plan, the John Mawney House is built around a central chimney with seven fireplaces. Listed on the National and Rhode Island State Registers of Historic Places, this four bedroom, two and a half bath home also received a Providence Preservation Society plaque.
“It was a true honor to represent the sale of 135 Benefit St. — an extraordinary home that has not been offered on the market in over 50 years,” said Greene. “Steeped in history and literary legacy, this 1763 College Hill residence once housed the aunt of famed writer H.P. Lovecraft and served as inspiration for his work. To be part of its next chapter is a privilege I won’t soon forget.”
