PBS' This Old House Picks RI Home.
Front page news for Rhode Island as the PBS series 'This Old House' heads to Barrington RI to renovate their first RI
home for the series which premieres on January 28, 2012 at 4 p.m.on local channels. We do not lack the historic and waterfront homes that always 'fit the bill' but RI just never made the list of must renovate homes.
The waterfront Barrington RI home that was picked was recently bought by a couple renting in the RI area. The 1500 or so square foot home is said to be very outdated, needs more bathrooms and needs to be enlarged to accommodate the new family. A home addition is planned as well as a second floor to take advantage of the magnificent waterfront RI real estate in Barrington RI.
This 1925 waterfront bungalow on Narragansett Bay has a great location, it is just 10 minutes from Providence RI. This looks like it will be a great 10 part series to enjoy and learn from. As a waterfront RI realtor, I just love to absorb all this home renovation information. Since I have renovated a number of old houses in the past, I always want to learn what is the newest and greatest being done properly by contractors. Another important tool in a real estate agents toolbox.
So do not forget to get a taste of RI in this series and find out why I love the RI real estatescene so much. We are blessed with the waterfront, ocean front and coastal ocean as well as Narragansett Bay areas which are pristine. Consider relocating? Give me a call at 401.529.7849 to find an old house or newer home RI style. And do not forget to see PBS' This Old House Picks RI Home.

Congratulations to RI!!!
I LOVE the show, but never seen them down here in Alabama, and there are some old antebellum white columned "stereotypical Southern" houses that would love to have'em work their magic!
Should be lots of fun watching the activities, grabbing photos when you can & sharing with us here. What an exciting way to kick off the new year.
Merry Xmas and congratulations for your area.
It's cold outside, but your pictures remind me of going to the shore in the summer. Let us know if you see anything interesting behind the scenes. Happy New Year and all the best!
This is an exciting news. I would like to get updates on what the group is planning to do with the cedar shakes exterior. I am positive that they will keep the shakes for that New England feel. But who knows. Please keep us posted.
Don't forget about us, a little Christmas humor
