The home was most recently valued by Barrington property assessors in fiscal 2024 as being worth $1.4 million, with $755,000 of that attributed to the 2.16 acres of land.

Lisa Schryver, of the Kirk Schryver Team at the Compass Barrington office, represented the seller. Kira Greene, a founding agent of Compass Providence, represented the buyer.

“We were honored to be selected to assist the sellers in the sale of this remarkable home, cherished by their family for over half a century,” Schryver said in a statement.

According to the quitclaim deed, which is a public record of the sale, the home was sold by Pheobe Murphy, of Barrington.
