RPL’s Joe Roch Closes Elmwood’s Highest Home Sale Ever

Residential Properties Ltd. is excited to announce the sale of 63 Whitmarsh Street in Providence for $602,500. RPL Broker Associate Joe Roch represented the seller as the listing agent in this transaction.

According to State-Wide MLS data, this marks the highest single-family home sale in the history of the Elmwood neighborhood (ZIP code 02907). 

“The Addie Wood House was built in 1898 and, although it has been thoughtfully modernized, it retains so much original charm and detail,” Roch said. “Historic Elmwood is such an under-appreciated neighborhood in our city, but it houses some of the most incredible late 19th and early 20th-century homes that Providence has to offer. I’m thrilled for my seller-clients on this exciting sale, and equally delighted for the new stewards of this special home.”

This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath Colonial-Revival home perfectly marries original details with modern amenities. Entering from the large front porch, step into a sun-soaked first floor with hardwoods throughout. To the right, find a cozy family room with a gorgeous fireplace and wood mantle. Across the hall, a large dining room and adjoining living room lead to the updated kitchen with stone counters and stainless appliances. The second floor has two well-appointed bedrooms, a common bath featuring a jetted tub, and a spacious primary suite with ample closet space. More finished space awaits on the third floor and partially finished lower level. 

The listing agent, Joe Roch, is a third generation Realtor® and appraiser. Joe is a member of RPL’s West Side of Providence office located at 381 Broadway. He currently sits on the boards of the West Broadway Neighborhood Association (WBNA) as well as Project Weber/RENEW. He is an avid hiker, gardener, knitter, and beachgoer. Joe and his husband own a Gothic Revival cottage on Hammond Street in the Historic Armory District of Providence, a space that they share with a tiny Boston terrier named Olive.
