Olympic skater Michelle Kwan sells her Rhode Island estate
NEWPORT, R.I. Olympic figure skater Michelle Kwan has sold her Rhode Island estate.
The Providence Journal reports that the Newport estate, named Casa del Sole, sold for nearly $4 million.
Kwan took sole ownership after filing for divorce from Clay Pell last year. Kwan and Pell both listed “irreconcilable differences” in divorce papers.
The nearly 2-acre estate was initially listed for $4.4 million. The 5,000-square-foot (465-square-meter) home includes four bedrooms and five-and-a-half bathrooms.
Gustave White Sotheby’s International Realty announced the sale of the early 20th-century, Palladian-style villa.
Kwan is a five-time world figure skating champion, winning Olympic medals in 1998 and 2002.
Pell is a grandson of Rhode Island’s late Democratic U.S. Sen. Claiborne Pell, and he unsuccessfully ran for governor in 2014.
The two married in Providence in 2013.
