About This Home

As of March 2025

Step into this beautifully-renovated 1920s ''open-faced block'' house--- just minutes from downtown Bristol and within walking/ biking distance to local hotspots like Union 41, Michael Waltrip Brewing, Blackbird Bakery, and so much more! Refinished original hardwoods throughout, fully-updated kitchen with stainless appliances, and ''one-step'' entry to one level living for ease of access. This turn-key home has been a successful 5 star Airbnb with an average annual income of approximately $24,000. It boasts desirable features such as off-street parking and a fenced backyard for privacy. The rear enclosed ''porch'' is excellent for storage of bicycles, and the back deck is a fun place to hang out and listen to the nearby stages during Bristol Rhythm and Roots. Whether you're an investor looking to snag a wonderful STR, or someone looking for a beautiful little primary residence--- this home is a MUST SEE!
