Tucked away at the corner of Ferry Road and Griswold Avenue, this distinctive New England Cape offers a rare combination of location, character, privacy, and an abundance of land in Historic Bristol, RI. Set back from the road and thoughtfully positioned to follow the natural curve of the lot, the home has an undeniable presence and exceptional curb appeal. Built in 1939, the main residence offers the warmth and character of a traditional Cape with generously proportioned rooms and a classic layout. A 2001 addition provides a comfortable open living room with gas fireplace and additional space for dining, along with a full bathroom connected to a first-floor bedroom, creating a flexible space for a first floor primary, guests or extended family. The expansive grounds feature mature landscaping, established trees, open lawns, and a level of privacy rarely found so close to town. Best of all, enjoy the ability to walk to Historic Downtown Bristol, with its restaurants, shops, waterfront, and vibrant year-round atmosphere. A truly special property with a setting that is difficult to replicate and the opportunity to create a home that reflects your own vision in one of Bristol's most coveted locations.
