RPL's DeRentis Completes Highest Providence Sale of the Year

Residential Properties Ltd. is excited to announce the sale of 295 Laurel Avenue on Providence’s East Side for $3,621,100. RPL Sales Associate Jim DeRentis represented the seller in this off-market sale.   

According to State-Wide MLS data, this is the highest sale of any kind in all of Providence County year to date. RPL has now participated in the three highest sales in Providence year to date, with DeRentis listing the top two sales in Providence year to date.

Step into a bygone era of grandeur in this impeccably preserved 1920s brick colonial. Spanning three magnificent levels, the home centers around a gracious three-story staircase that serves as a stunning architectural centerpiece. With nine expansive bedrooms and six warming fireplaces, the residence balances formal sophistication with a truly livable floor plan. While the period character has been preserved, showcasing gorgeous original millwork and other historic details, the home has been thoughtfully modernized with a chef’s kitchen, a full butler’s pantry, and the rare convenience of an elevator.

Jim DeRentis is Residential Properties' Top Producing Sales Agent and has ranked #1 in Providence sales volume for nine consecutive years. He has been a recipient of the Circle of Sales Excellence Platinum Plus Award each year since 2011 when he was named Rookie of the Year. For the past 12 years, Jim has been included on the “REALTrends Verified” list of the country’s top real estate professionals and in 2020 was named to “The 1000.” He was the only individual agent to achieve over $100 million in Rhode Island sales during both 2024 and 2025, according to State-Wide MLS data.
