Built in 1867 in the post civil war era and proudly listed on the National Historic Register, this Federal-style estate is a rare opportunity to own a true piece of Bristol's history.
Showcasing 5 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, 8 fireplaces, and over 4,400+ sqft of living space, the home offers a layout that is both functional and full of character. Inside, you'll find original hardwood floors, detailed millwork, masonry interior walls, multiple staircases, soaring ceilings, and traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery secured with wooden pegs--details that speak to a level of quality rarely seen today.
Finished in a timeless fashion, this home has been thoughtfully updated over the years in a way that enhances its livability without taking away from its original character. The kitchen has been remodeled with granite countertops and modern appliances, while the bathrooms have been tastefully improved to align with the style and feel of the home--creating a seamless blend of historic charm and everyday functionality.
Situated on approximately 2 acres, the setting is just as compelling as the home itself. Framed by mature landscaping and manicured grounds, the property features the original brick exterior, towering chimneys, a standing seam metal roof, and multiple covered porches that create a true estate feel. The grounds offer walking paths, open green space, a scenic creek along the property line, and multiple outbuildings and barns--each rich with history and offering endless potential.
