The two houses on the 2.04-acre 1738 Corn Neck Road property are known as “Courageous” and “Defiant,” according to a statement from Lila Delman Compass.

Rosemary Tobin, a Lila Delman Compass sales manager who facilitated the deal, said the sale comes as the Block Island real estate market faces an increasingly large demand, with a small supply.

“Block Island is experiencing an extremely active market. With low inventory and high demand to live the Island life, I predict continued momentum for the year ahead,” Tobin said.

“Courageous,” which is the main house, is 5,000 square feet and features five bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a deck wrapping around the two-story building. The custom-built home was constructed in 1997, according to public records.

“Defiant” is a roughly 1,536-square-foot cottage, including four bedrooms and two bathrooms. It was built in 1998, according to town records.

The property was sold by Patricia Sirowich, of Connecticut, to a newly established company called 1738 Corn Neck LLC, according to a copy of the trustee’s deed.
