WESTERLY – A turn of the century mansion once owned by the Breck shampoo creator has sold in Watch Hill, at $7.6 million.
The transaction is the highest single-family sale in Westerly for the past two years, according to Lila Delman Real Estate International, the luxury real estate company whose agents led the sale.
The nine-bedroom house at 9 Ninigret Ave., built in 1899, was sold last week, according to a news release. It is set on a bluff overlooking two ponds and the dunes of East Beach.
The house was the former summer home of Edward J. and Gertrude O. Breck. Edward J. Breck was founder and chairman of the Breck Shampoo Co. While entertaining, the Brecks would use a sitting room off the grand foyer for an orchestra, and the foyer itself as a dance floor, according to seller’s agent Mark Gauvian.
Property records indicate the house was last owned by Mark W. Izard, who purchased the home for $2.35 million from the Breck family in 1998.
