POTENTIAL AIRBNB INCOME TO HELP OFFSET YOUR MORTGAGE!
IDEAL MULTIGENERATIONAL LAYOUT!
BUILT FOR a BRISTOL JUDGE! (Judge Robertson) Live here. Work here. Potentially earn here. This remarkable Greek Revival home on iconic Solar Street offers a rare combination of historic character, flexible living space, private business accommodations, and potential income-producing opportunities. The home was built for a Bristol judge and has a unique history of combining residential and business use. Former owners operated an insurance company from the property, making the existing separate business space ideal for today's entrepreneurs. BUSINESS OWNERS--STOP PAYING RENT! A dedicated private office with its own separate entrance and potential waiting/reception area allows you to operate your business while keeping your personal living space separate. Ideal for an insurance agency, attorney, accountant, consultant, real estate professional, or other home-based business, subject to applicable regulations. Why pay rent for office space when you could invest in your own property?
