Nestled in the bucolic and historic downtown district of Bristol, this gracious, residence with stucco covered field stone walls offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Rhode Island’s architectural legacy.

The home sits on a beautifully landscaped lot featuring a garden oasis—perfect for relaxing or entertaining with a 7 foot stone wall on one side!

The main level includes a spacious living room, an elegant dining room, a fireplaced library, and a generous kitchen complete with a butler’s pantry—ideal for hosting gatherings or indulging in culinary pursuits. Upstairs, the second floor features four large bedrooms, each with high ceilings and timeless architectural details. A sunlit porch just off the central hallway provides a serene retreat, while the third floor offers two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a bright open area with filtered views of Narragansett Bay. Just steps from your front door, enjoy Bristol’s charming shops, acclaimed restaurants, scenic waterfront, and the vibrant energy of the historic town center.
