1226 Hope St Bristol, RI 02809

Graceful and elegant Hope Street Colonial with beautifully proportioned rooms and with architectural details throughout, including intricate inlaid floors and decorative mouldings. Located on almost a half acre with a two-car garage, the house is set back from the street behind a stone wall. A spectacular columned front entrance with center hall staircase dominates the interior entranceway and leads to a fireplaced front-to-back living room with a doorway to a screened-in side porch. Also on the first floor is the formal dining room with beautifully detailed recessed cupboards and a sunny bay window. The wood paneled study with large window overlooks the partially fenced rear garden/yard. An older style eat-in kitchen has a side door leading to the driveway and garage. Altogether there are 8 rooms with all 4 bedrooms on the second floor. In addition there is a partially finished basement previously used as an architect's office with shelving and cupboards and stained glass windows. The house and garage both have wood clapboard siding and long lasting slate roofs. It is heated by a European High Tech Buderus oil boiler. This is a very special house owned by the same family since construction in 1949.
