This Colonial Revival in the Shoreby Hill Historic District, overlooking the harbor and Naragansett Bay, sold for $2,955,000. This reflects the second highest price for a residential sale in Jamestown this year to date. Sales associate Kate Greenman of Gustave White Sotheby’s International Realty represented the seller, and Gloria Kurz of Mansions & Manors represented the buyer.
