OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY, OCTOBER 11TH FROM 12-2 PM! Within walking distance of historic Downtown Bristol, this beautifully reimagined Victorian offers a rare combination of architectural character, sophisticated modern design, and everyday functionality. Extensively renovated less than ten years ago, the home received major updates including plumbing, electrical, siding, windows, roof, heat pumps, and a tastefully designed addition. With flexible zoning allowing for residential, business, or mixed use, the possibilities are as impressive as the home itself.
Offering four bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, the interior feels both distinctive and remarkably livable. Solid pine floors add warmth, while the freshly painted interior provides the perfect backdrop for artwork. Expansive windows fill the main floor with natural light. Original details--including the Victorian staircase, wainscoting, fireplaces, and architectural elements--provide a beautiful counterpoint to the home's clean, modern finishes and color drenched walls.
The welcoming foyer opens into a comfortable living room surrounded by custom, built-in bookshelves and featuring an original bay window. The formal dining room is illuminated by a stunning chandelier and generously sized windows. At the center of the main level is a striking white kitchen featuring high-gloss cabinetry, a waterfall quartz island, and an Italian gas range. The open layout flows effortlessly into the adjoining family room, where an impressive 16-foot wall of glass doors opens to the deck, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. A custom pergola adds architectural interest to the deck, while the fully fenced backyard, off-street parking, and carport offer conveniences rarely found this close to downtown. The main-level primary suite is a private retreat with a beautifully designed bath featuring a dramatic tiled wall and shower, quartz countertop, and antique pine doors.
The home's original staircase leads upstairs to a light-filled landing. The largest upstairs bedroom enjoys direct access to the spacious bath, providing a second primary suite. Hardwood floors and oversized windows continue throughout the second level where two bedrooms retain original fireplaces--a beautiful reminder of the home's history. Two full bathrooms are located on the second level; one offers a stylish freestanding bathtub while the other features a custom tile shower.
Thoughtfully restored rather than simply remodeled, this is a home where Victorian character and modern design genuinely complement one another. With an exceptional floor plan, main-level primary suite, inviting outdoor space, off-street parking, and a walkable downtown location, it offers a combination that is incredibly rare in Bristol. This space is the ideal backdrop for living, working, or entertaining!
