RPL’s DeRentis Closes $3.4M Sale of Historic College Hill Colonial Revival

Residential Properties Ltd. announces the sale of 102 Prospect Street on Providence’s East Side for $3.4 million. RPL Sales Associate Jim DeRentis represented the seller in this transaction.   

According to State-Wide MLS data, RPL has now participated in four of the five highest single-family home sales in Providence year to date, with DeRentis involved in four of those sales.

This distinguished Colonial Revival home stands among the grand architectural landmarks of Providence's East Side. Built in 1906 for Dr. Henry A. Whitmarsh and designed by the renowned Providence architectural firm Clarke & Howe, this 6-bedroom, 4.2-bath home embodies the elegance, scale, and craftsmanship of the Gilded Age. Set on a prominent corner in the heart of College Hill, this residence offers approximately 5,885 square feet of living space over three floors on a nearly 10,000-square-foot lot. The grand center hall is flanked by generous entertaining spaces – the library with custom built-ins and the generous living and dining rooms with rich architectural details. A set of atrium doors opens to a side porch that overlooks the garden. The second-floor primary suite creates a restful retreat with a private bath and a walk-in dressing room.
