Tucked away in the Highlands, yet close to the shops, restaurants, and attractions of Bristol, this thoroughly and thoughtfully renovated home sits amidst park-like grounds. The very best original craftsmanship of this home was retained, while all the amenities for ease of modern living were added. The details here are reminiscent of the days of grand old seaside summer homes, yet the aesthetic has been updated to seamlessly blend new with old. In the eat-in kitchen, custom cabinetry and vintage-style lighting pair with Viking appliances. A large dining room and great room with fireplace continue the flow of rooms. A first floor home office has ample closet space and could do double duty as a bedroom, and the partially finished basement offers additional flex space. Upstairs, five bedrooms and three full bathrooms occupy the second floor, with water views from many of the windows. The primary bedroom with en suite bath and walk-in closet has vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light. Climb the stairs to the attic for an architectural treat: a room wrapped in original woodwork that calls to mind Bristol’s yacht-building heritage.Outside, enjoy the patio and stone walls, water feature, fire pit, and saltwater swimming pool. The guest cottage offers a full bathroom, kitchenette, living space and a heated garage bay. A separate garage has four stalls and unfinished space above. Your opportunity to experience turnkey living just in time for summer in the Highlands has arrived.
