East Bay & Newport County, Rhode Island Top 5 Home Sales: Bristol Sale Leads at $5.25 Million

The five highest-priced home sales reported in East Bay & Newport County, Rhode Island for the week ending October 25, 2026 came to a combined $11.205 million.

All five are single-family homes, and they span four decades, from a Colonial built in 1985 to a farmhouse completed in 2026. The two Portsmouth sales, in different neighborhoods, together came to $2,530,000, while Middletown and Jamestown each had one home on the list.

No. 1 — $5,250,000 · 466 Poppasquash Rd, Bristol, Rhode Island

Top home sale No. 1 in East Bay & Newport County, Rhode Island β€” 466 Poppasquash Rd, Bristol, Rhode Island, week ending October 25, 2026

The top sale of the week was on Poppasquash Point in Bristol, where a shingle-style home inside a gated enclave sold for $5,250,000. The drive in runs along the water, and the 3.15-acre property fronts Narragansett Bay, with access to the beach, a mooring and wide views out over the bay. It is the largest lot and the most living space in this group.

Built in 1989, the home has four bedrooms, two full baths and two half baths in 5,168 square feet. Hardwood floors and custom woodwork run through the rooms, and there are four wood-burning fireplaces. The main floor has the living and dining rooms, a den, the laundry and two powder rooms, and the primary suite is on that level as well. Three more bedrooms and a full bath are upstairs. The partly finished lower level adds a billiard room, a wet bar and a gathering space, and the attached two-car garage is heated.

Outside are a patio, a porch and a potting shed on wooded grounds. Bristol is known for its sailing and is home to Roger Williams University, and the property is 15 miles from Newport and about 65 miles from Boston. It last sold for $750,000 in 1995.

The home went under contract seven days after it was listed and sold $250,000 above its $5 million asking price. Cheryl Andreozzi of Mott & Chace Sotheby’s Intl. was the listing agent, and Kara Trombly of Realty ONE Group Suburban Life represented the buyer.
