225 Bishop Road

This incredible Southern estate home on 2.32 private acres is conveniently nestled in the heart of the city, just a quick drive to Providence and Research Park.

The long, curved driveway leads to the stately painted brick home with impressive columns and peaceful front porch. Double doors open to the welcoming foyer with beautiful millwork and grand staircase. The dining room and library/office flow from the foyer and open into the family room and kitchen/hearth room for optimal comfort and openness – a modern twist on a traditional floor plan. The main level features hardwood floors, custom crown molding, arched cased openings, and high ceilings throughout.

The island kitchen with granite counters, rich cabinetry, double ovens, gas range, and Sub-Zero refrigerator, overlooks the casual hearth room with gas fireplace and large breakfast room which can easily accommodate both an intimately sized group or a larger gathering. The spacious laundry room with utility sink, custom cabinetry, and additional refrigerator and freezer is also located conveniently off of the kitchen.

The family room, with gas fireplace, overlooks the covered porch and resort-style backyard. The main-level master suite is privately tucked away off of the family room and overlooks the swimming pool and manicured lawn. The spa bath features marble floors and counter tops, dual painted sink vanities with makeup area, tiled walk-in shower with frameless doors, and a jetted tub. It has two separate walk-in closets and private commode. An additional private main-level guest suite complete with a full bath, is located on the opposite side of the family room. The second level has four ensuite bedrooms and a lofted reading nook with access to the front porch balcony. Two bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bath while the others have private baths.

As you descend down the stairs into the exceptionally remodeled basement, designed by Beverly Farrington and built by Glen Cope, you are truly impressed by the temperature controlled 1,100 bottle wine cellar and tasting room. The Old Growth Reclaimed Oak wood paneling and stairs, beamed ceilings, and stone accents adorn this open space complete with media lounge, billiards and table game room, and a wraparound bar with sink and Sub-Zero refrigerator - the perfect retreat for hosting gameday parties, family events, or a place for the kids to getaway. A mother-in-law-suite with morning kitchen/coffee bar and hobby room is privately located on this level, in addition to the safe/valuables room and exercise studio with rubber flooring.

A small flight of stone stairs from the basement elevates you into the beautifully landscaped backyard designed around the swimming pool and waterfall jacuzzi. The pool is accented by the outdoor kitchen and open grilling pavilion with built-in gas grill, fireplace, refrigerator, freezer, and sink. The view beyond the pool and into the expansive landscaped lawn is enhanced by the absolutely adorable child’s playhouse. Mature trees and fence around the perimeter allow for ultimate privacy.
