Enchanting tree lined entry to one of Bristol's beloved treasures-this classic estate was designed and owned by noted architect George Locke Howe, also the author of a history of Bristol called "Mount Hope, A New England Chronicle". Ideally situated on a beautiful, large 2.65 acre lot very near Blithewold Garden, the harbor and Bristol's lively and picturesque downtown, this stately 5-bedroom has a first floor primary suite overlooking a heated in ground pool area, high wood beamed ceilings, built-ins and charming details throughout. It offers endless opportunities as a primary or secondary home and is a perfect configuration for extended family and friends to gather. Four-year-old roof, new propane heating, and newer windows. A little interior updating will go a long way to make this a stunning showstopper and would be a sound investment! There is a legal 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage on the property that is currently leased on a month-to-month basis for $1,250 per month, utilities included. The cottage can remain as a revenue source or can be converted to any number of uses of your choice. Cottage may need to be shown in subsequent appointment after viewing of primary residence. Also listed as single family MLS 136484.
