RPL's Simpson Closes Multimillion-Dollar Sale of 1930s East Side Colonial

Residential Properties Ltd. is proud to announce the sale of 612 Elmgrove Avenue on Providence’s East Side for $3,225,250. RPL Sales Associate Derek Simpson was the listing agent in this off-market sale.

According to State-Wide MLS data, this is the second-highest sale in Providence year to date. RPL has now closed the two highest sales in the city year to date.

This 1930s Spanish Revival was completely re-imagined by Hill & Harbor for today's lifestyle to include expansive open living spaces and abundant natural light. Honoring the home's original details, the floorplan was completely rearranged around a central custom kitchen. Featuring a 10-foot island wrapped in three sides by a Calacatta Macchia Vecchia marble slab, the kitchen is one of the home's most significant transformations. The spacious great room was created by combining two originally under-utilized spaces, removing a structural double-sided fireplace and raising the ceiling height. By removing a back staircase, a second primary suite was created on the home's second level. An addition allowed the creation of a primary bedroom featuring two large walk-in closets, beamed ceilings, and a luxurious new primary bath. Outside, a dreamy landscape centers around Providence's oldest Oak Tree, adding another layer to this unique property. All new efficient systems, copper gutters, multiple courtyards, and endless custom details add the property’s unparalleled allure. 

With a proven track record in high-end residential sales and a decade of hands-on experience flipping both historic and contemporary homes, Derek brings a rare blend of design expertise, market insight, and negotiation skill to every transaction. His work spans luxury high-rise condos across Rhode Island, East Side homes in Providence, and thoughtfully renovated properties that balance modern living with architectural character. Since becoming licensed in 2020, he has guided buyers and sellers with a client-focused approach grounded in trust, vision, and seamless execution.
