Property Description

Some homes have history. Others ARE history.A rare opportunity to own an architectural artifact of foundational American history! Located in Cranston's Oak Lawn Village Historic District, the Edward Searle House (c.1675) is an extraordinary survivor of colonial Rhode Island and a rare example of New England's iconic "stone-ender" architecture. Rebuilt by Edward Searle following the destruction of his homestead during King Philip's War, the home retains its massive original fieldstone chimney. Expanded around 1720, this 2 -story residence features five fireplaces and nearly 350 years of architectural heritage.EXCEPTIONAL POTENTIAL: The property offers the possibility of creating a separate 6,000 SF buildable lot through administrative subdivision, subject to municipal approval. Sell the parcel to help fund restoration or explore additional residential possibilities.A newer roof, heating system, and municipal water and sewer provide a head start. The interior requires substantial restoration, including some structural floor support.For the preservation enthusiast or visionary investor, this is more than a renovation project. It's an invitation to restore an irreplaceable landmark and become the next steward of its extraordinary legacy.
