Nestled in the heart of historic downtown Bristol, the Jeremiah Diman House c.1794 is one of the Town's most distinguished homes. This Federal Colonial has many original details including eight fireplaces, wood mantels and wide planked floors. A gracious entry foyer leads you to the formal rooms.The living room is open to a delightful sitting room with pocket doors. The dining room has French doors which lead to a private side porch overlooking the exquisite gardens. A two story, thoughtfully designed addition, blends with the original antique house and includes the kitchen with stainless appliances, breakfast nook with cozy fireplace and a sunlit family room with charming window seat and walls of windows to take full advantage of the views. A private home office completes this floor. The back staircase in the addition takes you to the primary suite with ample closets, full bath and a quiet sitting area with fireplace. Two generously sized bedrooms, 2 full baths and a gathering room at the top of the stairs. The laundry is conveniently located on this floor. The fenced backyard has been professionally landscaped with sprinklers and is a private oasis with beautiful flowering trees creating a canopy over the blue stone patio. This inviting space is perfect for entertaining or a secluded retreat. Located on the historic parade route and a short stroll to two town beaches, fabulous restaurants, quaint shops, harbour and bike path. This rare treasure awaits its next steward.
