If figure skating superstar Michelle Kwan’s Rhode Island mansion was competing in the Olympics, it would deserve a 10 out of 10!
The four-bedroom, five-and-a-half bath home was recently sold to a new owner for nearly $4 million, and judging from the photos of the Palladian style villa, Kwan will certainly be missing this beautiful property.
Originally built in the early 20th century, the house sits on two acres of land that includes a formal garden and pond.
Impressive stone steps lead to the elegant house and, once you’re inside the interior entryway, you’ll feel like you’re in a modern castle with its marble floors and grand wooden staircase. And if you look closely, you'll spot some intricate gold detailing on the walls.
The house is perfect for entertaining, with its large chef's kitchen that flows to the backyard. Your party can spill out to the neoclassical pool and patio area, while a fire pit and multiple seating areas also beckon outside.
If you want to host a more formal gathering, there’s a chandelier-topped dining room with tall columns and a warm fireplace.
Other fireplaces throughout, including in the formal living room, give the home a traditional, yet cozy feeling.
And when you’d like to retreat to your master bedroom, you have your pick of two! The dual master suites each have their own private balcony and ensuite bathroom. These, plus two other bedrooms round out the second floor.
On the lower level, there’s a bonus room that can be used for a home theater or gym.
In total, the home features almost 4,000 square feet of living space and parking for seven cars — no ice rink though, despite its former owner’s profession!
The home was sold by Michelle Drum with Gustave White Sotheby's International Realty. See more pictures of the pretty property at realtor.com.
