In a record-setting transaction for the town of East Greenwich, 72 Great Road has sold for $3.5 million, marking the highest residential sale in the town’s history, according to data from State-Wide MLS. The sale was brokered by Residential Properties Ltd., with Jim DeRentis, a seasoned sales associate with the firm, representing the seller.

The residence at 72 Great Road is nothing short of a private retreat. Spanning nearly six acres, the estate offers a wealth of high-end amenities tailored for both everyday living and grand entertaining. The property’s meticulously landscaped grounds feature cherry trees and lush plantings, guiding visitors through a gated driveway to the grand double-door entrance. Inside, a soaring foyer leads into a home designed for both elegance and comfort, with opulent finishes at every turn.
Among its standout features, the property boasts an in-ground pool, a stone terrace ideal for alfresco dining, and a gourmet kitchen equipped with wood cabinetry, stone countertops, and top-tier appliances. The home’s great room, with its floor-to-ceiling windows, offers stunning views of the expansive rear gardens. Additional highlights include a wood-paneled office, formal dining room, and an array of living spaces designed for versatility.
Upstairs, the primary suite is a retreat within a retreat, complete with a fireplace, a wet bar, a covered porch, and a palatial en-suite bath. A separate children’s suite features three bedrooms, each with its own bath, and a sitting room. The finished lower level extends the home’s entertaining capacity with a billiards room, home theater, wine cellar, music room, and gym complete with a sauna.
