RPL Closes Third-Highest Providence Sale Ever

Residential Properties Ltd. is proud to announce the sale of 30 Freeman Parkway on Providence’s East Side for $4,772,393. RPL Sales Associate Derek Simpson represented the seller as the listing agent and RPL Sales Associate Michael J. Sweeney of the Sweeney Advisory Group represented the buyer as the selling agent in this transaction.

According to State-Wide MLS data, this is the third-highest single-family home sale in Providence ever recorded and the second-highest single-family home sale in Providence year to date. RPL has now listed 19 of the 25 highest single-family home sales in Providence so far this year.

The Clarke F. Freeman House, circa 1929, is situated on an impressive half-acre of park-like grounds on desirable Freeman Parkway. The home has been completely transformed by Hill & Harbor Design + Build into a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, featuring beautiful design details and every imaginable amenity. By strategically removing an under-utilized back staircase, Hill & Harbor was able to substantially increase the size of the kitchen, create an additional bath on the second floor, and double the size of the third-floor bath. The kitchen is a showstopper with a 10ft.-long walnut Island, beautiful honed-marble countertops, and top-of-the-line appliances. Each bath was gut-renovated to enhance usability while keeping with the character of the home. Completely new systems ensure year-round comfort. The rooftop deck caps it all off with views overlooking Providence for an absolutely incredible city estate.

A lifelong Rhode Islander, Derek Simpson’s passion for real estate and design began at a young age. Today, he is a skilled real estate advisor who ensures long-term client success by building trust and creating well-rounded portfolios. Beginning in 2012, he spent a decade purchasing and flipping units in downtown Providence before completing his first home flip on the East Side in 2022. In addition to his impressive record of selling high-rise condos throughout RI, he has a true gift for preserving the character of historic homes while tastefully updating them for modern needs.
