Middletown condo sells for $1.9M

A condominium in Middletown's Bancroft on the Bluffs, Unit 6 at 575 Tuckerman Ave., sold for $1.9 million on Sept. 15, according to Leslie Hogan of Hogan Associaties in Newport. Hogan said the sale was the highest price recorded so far this year in Rhode Island for a condominium property.

Hogan represented the seller. Jan Corbin of Lila Delman Real Estate International represented the buyers.

"Architect William Ralph Emerson designed the 5-story Arts & Crafts 'cottage' in 1895 for John Chandler Bancroft, a wealthy mine owner and patron of the arts," according to an announcement from Hogan Associates. "... In 1950, it was converted into apartments, and in 2006 it was renovated and divided into 10 luxury condos."

The Easton's Point neighborhood "has really taken off in the last few years," said broker Matt Hadfield, co-owner of Hogan Associates. "Bancroft on the Bluffs offers the only luxury condo option in a neighborhood full of beautiful single-family homes."
