Former polling place comes with two bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and a living area that is the epitome of the open layout design.
Through its history as everything from a meeting hall and polling place to a school and American Legion post, 47 Mulberry St. has played a part in Pawtucket’s history. Now the two-bed, 1.5-bath home originally known as the Fifth Ward Wardroom is on the market for $650,000.
Built in 1886, the 2,135-square-foot home, built in the Queen Anne style, was converted into a private residence after its many years as a municipal building. Now it fuses architectural and historical significance while embracing modern living.
A few front steps under an arched entryway lead into the front hallway, a dramatic space of exposed brick painted a deep green. An arched doorway reveals the main living space, which could be set up in a variety of configurations. Towering ceilings and knotty-pine floors create a blank canvas in a space that features an abundance of natural light thanks to the wide semicircular windows. Under those windows, you’ll also find the dining room, which could easily accommodate a long table.
