Artful, Quirky Warren Flat on the Bike Trail, Ride to Brown & RWU

Description

Welcome to a warm, unconventional home for a thinker, writer, or researcher who wants quiet without isolation. This furnished 1,500 sq ft flat sits directly on the East Bay Bike Path in downtown Warren, one of Rhode Island's most charming small harbor towns. The heart of the home is a long, open kitchen and dining space. There's a full kitchen with a gas range, dishwasher, and a rolling butcher-block island, plus a massive wooden dining table with a vintage church pew that seats a crowd or holds a sprawl of books and papers. Off the dining area, a deep purple lounge nook with red cushions makes a cozy spot for reading or tea. The living room has vaulted ceilings, a ceiling fan, a skylit window over the greenery, and French doors opening onto a private deck overlooking the park. A separate study is lined with built-in bookshelves and bathed in afternoon light, ideal for writing. You'll also find a full bath with a stall shower, a dedicated laundry room with washer and dryer, central air, and off-street parking. The decor is collected and eclectic: antique trunks, Asian lattice panels, brass, art, and rugs from around the world. It's a home with a soul, best suited to someone who appreciates character over polish. Location: Step out the door onto the bike path, a car-free trail that runs from Bristol to Providence along Narragansett Bay. Ride about 4 miles south to Roger Williams University, or about 12 miles north to India Point Park, steps from Brown University and RISD. By car, Providence's universities are about 20 minutes away. The flat also borders the Warren dog park and green space. You're a [X]-minute walk from beloved local spots including Del's Lemonade, Saint Martha, Metacom Kitchen, Kingfish, and the galleries, cafés, and waterfront along Water Street. Ideal for: a visiting scholar, writer, or artist seeking a quiet, inspiring base with easy access to Providence's academic world. Fill in the walking times and the bedroom/office layout before posting. The listing tips also recommend using the living room with the French doors as your featured photo and tidying countertops first. One important thing before you post: your landlord hasn't yet agreed to someone staying in the unit while you're away. Since a sabbatical tenant would sign an agreement with you, get his OK in writing first so you're not exposed if he objects mid-stay.
