North Kingstown - Beach Property For Sale #5135238

58 PLEASANT STREET IS A SHORT WALK TO WICKFORD VILLAGE AND STEPS TO THE WATER. IT IS CENTRALLY LOCATED WITH EASY TRAVELLING TO NEWPORT, PROVIDENCE AND BEYOND. THIS QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD AFFORDS PRIVACY AS WELL AS A WONDERFUL SENSE OF COMMUNITY. THE CURRENT OWNERS RESEARCH TELLS A STORY OF A WICKFORD FISHERMAN NAMED ISSAC LAKE CONSTRUCTING THIS THREE-STORY HOME FOR HIS TWO DAUGHTERS AROUND 1866. IN 1971 THE DILAPIDATED PROPERTY WAS PURCHASED BY EDWARD JONES WHO LIVED AT 50 PLEASANT STREET. HE AND HIS SON REHABBED THE HOME STILL MAINTAINING IT AS A TWO FAMILY. IN 1990 THE CURRENT OWNERS PURCHASED THIS WONDERFUL HOME AND RENOVATED THE TOP TWO FLOORS. IN 2020 THE OWNERS DECIDED TO HAVE THE WOOD FLOORS REFINISHED. UNFORTUNATELY, THE UNATTENDED FLOOR SANDING MACHINE FILLED WITH SANDING DEBRIS SPONTANEOUSLY IGNITED SETTING THE FLOOR ABLAZE. ALTHOUGH DAMAGE WAS LIMITED AND NO ONE HURT, SMOKE AND SOOT WERE PERVASIVE THROUGHOUT. THE DECISION WAS TO REMODEL AS A SINGLE FAMILY. THIS MEANT EVERYTHING HAD TO BE BROUGHT UP TO CURRENT CODES AND THEREFORE ALL SYSTEMS INCLUDING THE 4 BEDROOM SEPTIC SYSTEM CONFORM TO CURRENT CODES.
