Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International Realty completes sale of 43 Ashurst Ave. for $5 million

Middletown, RI Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International Realty completed the sale of 43 Ashurst Ave. for $5 million. Kylie McCollough, sales associate of Mott & Chace Sotheby’s, represented the seller and Janet Kermes, sales associate of Mott & Chace Sotheby’s, represented the buyer.

According to data available from Rhode Island Multiple Listing Service, the sale of 43 Ashurst Ave. is the highest sale in town this year. Kermes also represented the buyers of 192 Allston Ave., third most expensive home in town this year, one week before. With nearly $13 million in total sales volume in town year to date, the firm is currently ranked #1 with 25% of the market share in total sales volume.

The property, to be completed by October, was developed by Vento Management LLC. Newly designed with an ocean view, the home is sited on 1.2 private acres and offers quality construction with the finest finishes and amenities.

“After two attempts to buy elsewhere on Aquidneck Island, we toured the property on Ashurst and met the owner developer renovating the property,” said Kermes. “In less than a week, we had a done deal! I have very happy buyers and could not be prouder of the collaborative nature of my fellow Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International Realty agents.”

“High end deals are happening when the sellers are connected to the right buyer,” said McCollough. “The Sotheby’s International Realty network allows us to find our clients exactly what they are looking for. We are seeing some of the best deals come together through the power of local expertise with the worldwide reach of this iconic brand."
