Welcome to a gorgeous reinvention of an 1880 gem in the heart of Downtown Bristol!

Enter from the welcoming front porch into a sun-filled interior showcasing hickory hardwoods, designer lighting, custom tilework, elegant millwork, and sophisticated gold fixtures throughout. The open-concept floor plan features a chef's kitchen with custom white cabinetry, a 6-foot quartz island, & an adjacent mudroom, while the spacious family room offers a striking shiplap focal wall and patio access for seamless indoor-outdoor living. A coveted first-floor bedroom with walk-in closet and full bath provides flexibility for guests, a home office, or multigenerational living. The second floor features three additional bedrooms, including a primary suite with a large walk-in closet, a stylish full bath, & coveted laundry room. The third floor delivers exceptional flex space with a media room or office, a charming balcony overlooking the Mt. Carmel Church steeple, and an additional bedroom and full bath. Central air, tankless heating, custom-tiled showers, and a private fenced yard complete the package.
