About 178 Lippitt Ave
2 Buildings: Set on a spacious corner lot with over 30,000 sq ft of tree-lined land, this classic Cranston Cape offers just over 1,800 sq ft of inviting living space. The main house features a flexible layout: one of the three bedrooms was opened up to create a formal dining room, and that third bedroom can easily be restored with a simple wall addition. Hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and a newer heating system enhance everyday comfort. This home also includes a whole-house generator for outage protection and an updated electrical panel. The detached building adds roughly 700 sq ft of bonus space: the lower level consists of a single-car garage, a finished laundry room, and its own heating and electrical systems. Upstairs, the one-bedroom suite includes a kitchen, living area, full bath, and a dedicated office nook ideal as a guest cottage, studio, or private workspace. Buyer to perform due diligence on any permitting or conversion options.
