The Wheeler Lodge — Arts & Crafts bungalow, 10 min to Brown/RISD House

The Wheeler Lodge is a 1900 Arts and Crafts bungalow on a quiet, tree-lined block in the Edgewood section of Cranston — ten minutes by car to Brown and RISD, ten to downtown Providence, ten to T.F. Green. Offered fully furnished for the 2026–2027... academic year, September through early June (~9 months), with possible flex at either end.

Four bedrooms, three full baths, and two dedicated home offices across 4,031 square feet on three floors. Beds: king, queen, full (canopy room), and a dormer room with a twin plus a full-size futon. A first-floor den/library/TV room adds a queen-size pullout sofa as a no-stairs sleeping option. One office is set up with dual monitors and an ergonomic chair for serious remote work; Verizon Fios gigabit internet throughout (video calls, lab data, streaming in parallel).

Custom 2025 third-floor primary suite with vaulted ceilings and a hand-finished Moroccan tadelakt plaster en-suite shower. Updated kitchen with induction range, Bosch dishwasher, soapstone island, hanging pot rack, and full stock of cookware. Working Jøtul wood stove in the living room (available to long-term tenants on approval). Radiator heat plus minisplit in the primary; central A/C ducted on the second floor; rooftop solar offsets a portion of electric usage.

Edgewood is one of Cranston's most walkable neighborhoods — Roger Williams Park (435 acres, zoo, planetarium, Japanese garden) on one end, historic Pawtuxet Village (cafés, restaurants, marinas, salt marsh) on the other. The southern terminus of the RIPTA R-Line (Rhode Island's busiest bus, every 10–15 minutes) is a short walk away — straight shot up Broad Street to downtown Providence.

¼-acre fenced lot with a wraparound front porch, back patio under mature oaks, and a productive garden (cherry, sour cherry, apple, peach, dwarf Asian pear, elderberry, concord grape vines, raised vegetable beds). Off-street parking for 5–6 cars. Pets considered on approval, refundable deposit.

Particularly well-suited to visiting faculty, sabbatical scholars, traveling clinicians, and families relocating to Providence for the academic year. Utilities stay in the landlord's name; tenant pays a flat monthly utility fee — details on request. Summer (mid-Jun through end of Aug) reserved for owner use and is not part of the academic-year lease. Read More
