The five highest-priced home sales reported in Greater Providence & Northern Rhode Island for the week ending October 25, 2026, came to a combined $4.937 million. Providence and Cranston each had two of the five, and Smithfield had one, all of them in Providence County.
Four were single-family homes and one was a townhouse. The group spans more than a century of building, from a Victorian finished in 1900 to a home completed in 2005.
No. 1 — $1,975,000 · 131 Freeman Pkwy, Providence, Rhode Island
The week’s top sale was a brick Colonial built in 1920 in Providence’s Blackstone neighborhood, which sold for $1,975,000. The listing places the home in the Freeman Plat, on a 10,018-square-foot lot in a walkable part of the East Side with sidewalks along the street.
A foyer sets the plan. On one side, a living room runs the full depth of the home, from front to back, with a brick fireplace at its center, and it opens into a sunroom that also serves as a family room, lined with windows. On the other side of the foyer is the dining room. The kitchen has white cabinets, a center island, a built-in desk and an eating area. Hardwood floors, tall windows and high ceilings carry through the main rooms.
Upstairs, the landing has built-in shelves and room for a study. The primary suite has a fireplace of its own, generous closet space and a renovated bath with two vanities and a large walk-in shower. Two more bedrooms share this floor with a redone family bath that includes laundry. The third floor adds two further bedrooms, a full bath and a cedar closet. In all, the home has five bedrooms, three full baths and a half bath across 3,559 square feet, the most bedrooms and the largest living area in this Top 5.
Outside are a stone patio, a landscaped yard and a detached two-car garage. The full basement, unfinished, includes a workshop and storage.
The home went under contract six days after it was listed and sold for $80,000 above its asking price of $1.895 million. Gerri Schiffman of Residential Properties Ltd. was the listing agent, and Sweeney Advisory Group of Mott & Chace Sotheby’s Intl. represented the buyer.

No. 2 — $900,000 · 261 Blackstone Blvd, Providence, Rhode Island
The listing identifies 261 Blackstone Boulevard as the second Michael and Margaret Feeney House, a Late Victorian on the boulevard. Built in 1900, it is the oldest home in this Top 5, and it sold for $900,000.
The home keeps much of its original character, with wood floors, period detailing and a traditional layout. Living space spreads over three levels, linked by both a front and a back staircase, and the home has a wood-burning fireplace. There are four bedrooms and three full baths in 2,014 square feet. The shingled exterior has a porch and a back deck, and the 4,499-square-foot lot has a concrete driveway. The walking paths along Blackstone Boulevard are close by, as are shops and restaurants.
The property last sold in 1996 for $85,000, 30 years before this sale. Together with the Freeman Parkway home, the two Blackstone neighborhood sales accounted for $2,875,000 of the week’s total.

No. 3 — $730,000 · 21 Buxton Dr, Cranston, Rhode Island
In Cranston’s Castleton Estates neighborhood, a 1993 Colonial at 21 Buxton Drive sold for $730,000. Much of its appeal is outdoors: the home sits on 0.48 acres with a broad yard, lawn sprinklers and a paver patio built around a fire pit.
A casual family room opens straight out to that patio. The rest of the first floor has a separate living room, a formal dining room, a breakfast nook and a half bath, with hardwood floors throughout the level and up the stairs. On the second floor are three bedrooms, among them a large primary bedroom with a walk-in closet and its own bath, along with a second full bath. The home has 2,004 square feet, a two-car attached garage and a full basement with high ceilings, left unfinished.
The home went under contract eight days after it was listed and sold just above its asking price of $729,900. Kevin Cooney of Flagship Real Estate Advisors was the listing agent, and Bailey Holland of T. L. Holland Agency represented the buyer.

No. 4 — $682,000 · 1000 Chapel View Blvd Unit 306, Cranston, Rhode Island
The only townhouse in this Top 5, Unit 306 at 1000 Chapel View Boulevard, is also the newest of the five, built in 2005. It sold for $682,000. The home is part of The Residences at Chapel View in Cranston’s Garden City area, in one of the complex’s original buildings.
Ceilings rise to 19 feet in the main living space, framed by detailed moldings and plenty of daylight. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances, granite counters and large cabinets, and its marble floor continues into the open living area. A gas fireplace adds warmth. The home has two balconies, one off the family room and a private one off the primary suite. That suite has a large bath with a glass walk-in shower and a whirlpool tub, and marble counters and floors appear in the bathrooms.
The home is on two levels. The second bedroom, loft-style, is on the upper level with its own bath, and it can work as an office. With two bedrooms, two full baths and a half bath in 1,619 square feet, it has the fewest bedrooms and the smallest living area of the five. A laundry area is on the first floor, and residents have elevator access, a garage space and private storage. Restaurants, shops and gyms are nearby in Garden City, with easy access to the highway.
The property last sold in 2023 for $510,000. Jacqueline Mallett of RI Real Estate Services was the listing agent, and Nathan Clark Team of Your Home Sold Guaranteed, NCT represented the buyer.

In the main part of the home, a wood-burning stove in the living room heats much of the first floor, which also has the kitchen and a dining area, and a sizable deck extends outside.

Attached to the home but separate from it is a full in-law apartment, an approved accessory dwelling unit with a new modern kitchen, a living room, a bedroom, a bathroom, and its own new deck and stairs.
Altogether the property has four bedrooms, two full baths and a half bath in 2,559 square feet, along with a two-car attached garage and a full basement with bulkhead access. A shed, a dog kennel and a generator hookup round out the grounds.
