THE FITZPATRICK TEAM AT REMAX RESULTS CLOSES $3.95M SALE IN NEWPORT

The Fitzpatrick Team at REMAX Results is excited to share the recent closing of 2 Defenders Row, Newport, for $3,950,000, the third-highest condo sale in Rhode Island for 2025. Joe Fitzpatrick and Jeanne Cimaglia proudly represented the seller in this transaction.

Perched above Newport Harbor in a private Goat Island community, this residence offers resort-style living just minutes from downtown Newport and marks the third sale in the association this year. Featuring panoramic water views, wraparound decks, 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, the home blends the privacy of a single-family residence with the ease of low-maintenance luxury living.

What made this transaction truly special was the story behind it. This home was part of the seller’s family for many years. A place filled with memories, celebrations, and time spent overlooking the harbor. One of the seller’s fondest childhood memories was her father bringing her to watch the America’s Cup races, a tradition that shaped her connection to Newport’s sailing legacy. In a full-circle moment, the buyer also shares a deep bond with the America’s Cup, making the transfer of this home feel like a continuation of that timeless coastal story.

After the sale closed, the seller left Joe a heartfelt voicemail sharing that her dad would have loved working with both him and Jeanne. She went on to say that her father would have been thrilled for the buyer, knowing they would appreciate the home as much as he did. It was a reminder that beyond every transaction is a personal chapter in someone’s life and helping pass that chapter forward is an honor.

Joe Fitzpatrick said, "Some properties come with a story that goes far beyond the closing table. This home meant a great deal to the family, and being trusted to help carry that legacy forward is something Jeanne and I don’t take lightly. Knowing the seller felt her father would have enjoyed working with us, and would have been happy for this particular buyer, made this exceptionally meaningful.”

The closing of 2 Defenders Row is a powerful example that homes aren’t just bought and sold, they’re entrusted from one family to another.
