The week’s top sale was also the smallest of the five homes by living area. The Cape Cod-style cottage in Jamestown Village has 1,693 square feet on a 5,540-square-foot lot, and it sold for $1.689 million.
Built in 1905, the home has been architecturally redesigned. The property last sold for $490,000 in 2004, and the home was remodeled in 2017.

Two guest rooms and a large bath are on the second floor. In all there are three bedrooms and three baths, two full and one half, with hardwood and ceramic tile floors and a gas fireplace.
Outside, the shingled cottage has gardens, patios and a large outbuilding. Shops, the village, the waterfront and recreation facilities are all within easy reach. The listing says the home has twice been featured in Rhode Island Monthly.
The home went under contract one day after it was listed. Deborah Foppert of Jamestown Real Estate LLC was a listing agent with Tim Archer of Jamestown Real Estate LLC, and Archer also represented the buyer, so the same agent was on both sides of the sale.
