A historic estate at 333 Poppasquash Road in Brist A historic estate at 333 Poppasquash Road in Bristol has sold for $7,250,000, marking the highest residential sale in Bristol County in the past 18 months and the second-highest on record, according to the Multiple Listing Service. The landmark transaction was brokered by Gregory Arakelian, who represented the seller and facilitated the buyer in the deal. The 1938 English Tudor Revival, perched on an elevated waterfront parcel, was designed by noted architect Wallis Howe for Commodore Charles Rockwell Jr. The estate features ten bedrooms, a banquet room, a private library, a grand ballroom, a cutting room, and a helistop. Its three stories capture sweeping 270-degree views of Narragansett Bay. The home’s construction reflected the era’s finest craftsmanship, including Herreshoff-trained boatwrights and contractors who worked on the New York World’s Fair. “Showing the layered qualities of this remarkable estate was nothing short of a blast,” Arakelian said. “From provenance to nonessentials, from flora to fauna, and from helicopter to Hinckley, this property has that rare tangible effect—a feast for all the senses.” The record-breaking sale highlights Arakelian’s expertise in Rhode Island’s luxury real estate market. Following the transaction, Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International Realty announced that Arakelian has joined the firm as a Sales Associate specializing in high-end residential and commercial properties. Arakelian’s career is marked by exceptional deals, including the $14.34 million sale of the Wayfinder Hotel in Newport—the highest commercial sale in state MLS history—and the award-winning transformation of a Warwick hotel into 181 workforce-geared apartments. He has been named a CoStar National Power Broker multiple times and was recognized with the 2024 CoStar National Impact Award. #bristolri #realestate #newportbuzz
It’s almost Easter and hosting at home can be va It’s almost Easter and hosting at home can be vastly simplified and elevated with curated items from our exceptional small food and beverage vendors. Rule #1: Easter eggs for the kids, deviled eggs for the grownups. While the munchkins hunt, a platter of sunny deviled eggs with a glass of fizzy Cremant will get the adults party off to a hopping start. Order them from Barnaby Quinn at @lebecsucre_ri in Middletown. Then hit @goldswine_spirits on Valley Road. “You can’t have Easter without bubbles!” said owner Jason Gold. “Cremant has a zesty, fresh, green apple taste, which goes well with deviled eggs and the (salty-sweetness) of ham. Rieslings and Gewurztraminers also (pair well).” Swing by for tastings on Friday and Saturday. A cheese and cured meat plate is always in order and @bottegabocconi has the very best. Pre-order those and owner and Bologna native Marco Minieri’s luscious pasta al forno or lasagna, pre-seasoned lamb chops, ready to roast or grill, grilled veggies and Bottega’s famous potatoes, mashed with onions and prosciutto. Perfect, said Gold. “Italian whites like Gavi and Vermentino also go well with the brunchy-salty foods,” he said. “And for lamb, I’d go with pinot noir or Bordeaux.” Quinn is offering 3 dressings and garlic-herb croutons for salads, green peppercorn and chimichurri sauces for roasted lamb or beef, and dreamy potato Gratin Dauphinoise. Order before Friday. Why not be like the rebels who unabashedly roast a whole filet of beef on Thanksgiving? Head to the @newportlobstershack to procure a gaggle of fresh lobsters, caught the same morning. Summer now. Desserts: @provencalbakery for pies; @newportsweetshoppe for cookies and chocolates; June Love’s for British confections; @navadbakers for sublime babka and rugelach; and @nikolaspizza for their golden, flaky Baclava—layered with buttery phyllo, stuffed with sweet, spiced nuts, and drenched in a honey drizzle. Finally, top your pie with @getthescoopnewport’s cereal milk-based Cadbury mini egg ice cream. Happy Easter (full story at link in bio). #whatsheshaving #easter #newportbuzz #newportri
