About This Home
As of August 2025Nestled 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. This slate covered, hip roof home was designed by renowned architect Russell Warren and built in 1850. 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! Step through the front door into a grand central hall with soaring ceilings, intricate moldings, and beautifully preserved quarter sawn heart pine floors throughout. 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. Located along the route of America's oldest continuous Fourth of July parade, this home blends elegant history with modern-day convenience in quintessential New England style.
