Gregg’s cake?

Little info to help with a sale/resale. Remove the stove for permitting issues. Buyers will know they can throw one in but it won’t be approved for some financing if it’s still there and not a “legal kitchen”

Yes, many Italian and Portuguese families have kitchens in the basement. They are sauce kitchens or places to cure meats etc. pretty common in towns like North providence or westerly.

It’s right tho

I believe sand and gravel was taken from there for the construction of Route 95. The area was basically strip mined and thats what was left.

Definitely look into Royal Mills in West Warwick. Great place, community feel, and they “consider” unique backgrounds, like little rental history but good credit and a good BCI.

But I want to take a left from the right lane

Park it in Federal Hill and eventually, you'll have fewer parts to get rid of.

Also, if it still has a cat, just post it on Craigslist. I listed my Forester on there and my phone blew up by the end of day. Scrappers were practically fighting over it.

When we moved here 4 yrs ago we kind of wondered about his, kitchens and tons of in-law apts in the basement.

Same here. I grew up in New Bedford, MA which had a high Portuguese population. Lots of my friends had houses like this.

Beach pond? Route 165 in Exeter. Route 95 to 3 to 165.

Desert? Off route 95 between the former exits 6 and 6a.

Portuguese thing. I grew up in Connecticut and had never seen it until I met my husband. His parents have one in the basement that doesn’t get used, they use the upstairs one. But his aunt only uses the downstairs kitchen. I’ve only seen her upstairs kitchen once in eight years and we go there for every major holiday. Seemed strange to me at first but I don’t even think of it anymore.

Where exactly is this?

It’s just a style of house. Raised Ranch. Front door opens to a set of stairs. Down is the first floor up is the second floor. Usually the main kitchen living and bedroons are upstairs and then downstairs was usually a recreation room, spare bedrooms and maybe garage.

Since the pipes were going up to the second floor kitchen anyways it made sense to make an added kitchen downstairs under the main kitchen for an in-law or secondary kitchen if you’re entertaining downstairs.

that's the dream. unfortunately, an expensive one that we're a few years away from pulling the trigger on. but we live on a large pond and a basement kitchen would be 30 feet from it. add a sliding door and a terrace and you eat waterside during the warmer months.

First house I owned in Maryland had a partial kitchen in the basement: stove top and sink only and lots of cabinets. We never used it but the basement had a walkout so we thought it was a conversation to an in-law suite that got stalled.

Idk how I’ve never heard of this despite living in the state all my life. Guess it’s a byproduct of living north of providence all my life

Life long Rhode islander who never thought they would livd in EP lol. Grew up in West Cranston so took a little to get used to having Portuguese bakeries near by instead of Italian ones, but I'm addicted to those little custards now. Haven't tried honey bird yet, did see if going up though driving by it all the time, that whole area is still a mess with all the construction. I would recommend Jeff's pizza which is not far from there on waterman st if you haven't tried them, so good, my new favorite pizza place. Mira's cafe, Brazilian joint is great too, I had been to their Norwood location before so nice to have one right down the street now.

Any culture with big families.

I grew up in NY, very common for Italian grandmas to have a full kitchen in the basement for holiday feast prep and bulk food storage.

Summer kitchen.

im peanut butter and JEALOUS

Can confirm. Husband’s parents’ house has kitchen basement. (MIL was born in Portugal.) It hardly got used though, from my knowledge.

Yep that’s central EP.

Im not sure if you’re new to the area overall so forgive me if this is redundant. If you’re near the Henderson check out HoneyBird. I finally got there and really liked it.

And if you haven’t ventured to Riverside square for Borealis they have the best coffee around.
