Description

The Gem at Little Rest is a rare and beautifully restored circa-1788 home steeped in South County history. Also known as the Robert Helme House and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this remarkable property blends period character with thoughtful updates, offering a unique opportunity to own a piece of Rhode Island's past. Set on a generous lot framed by mature vegetation, the home showcases timeless New England craftsmanship throughout. Inside, spacious living areas include a large formal dining room, multiple wood-burning fireplaces, and a first-floor bedroom with a private entrance. Historic details abound, from the wood shingle exterior and impressive stone fireplace to the oldest surviving gingerbread ovens in America, once tended by Stephen "Baker" Greene. Lovingly restored for year-round living, the home offers steam heat, supplemental electric heat, a newer hot water heater, 200-amp electrical service, and an oil-fired heating system installed in 2006, with natural gas available at the street. Cedar roofs and copper flashing add lasting durability. A detached two-car garage with separate electrical service and office space offers flexibility for a workshop, studio, home business, or potential ADU, subject to approvals. Located within the Historic District and walking distance to Kingston Village and the University of Rhode Island, The Gem at Little Rest offers a rare combination of history, character, flexibility, and modern convenience.
