132 High Street

Description

Located in Bristol's sought after historic district and directly on the famous 4th of July parade route, this quintessential 1811 Federal home is now available for the first time in 25 years! Built for Capt. George Washington Devol and his wife Mary Bosworth, the home is attributed to renowned architect Russell Warren and features one of his striking signature floating staircases (similar to Linden Place and Warren's own 1800's home on State St). That staircase is just one of the many gorgeous details found throughout including door, window, and crown moldings, shutters, built-ins, and 7(!) original mantels. 132 High has room for everyone thanks to a gracious center-hall floor plan, 5+ bedrooms and 3.5 baths, providing options for first floor or second floor primary suites plus a potential "in-law"/au-pair suite. The updated spacious eat-in kitchen and adjoining dining room are great for casual or more formal entertaining. Storage abounds in the full basement and 1 car garage. And with its corner location and numerous windows the house's spacious rooms are flooded with sunshine. Historic Bristol is a classic New England harbor town with a picture postcard downtown, well regarded restaurants, shops, museums, not to mention its famous 4th of July parade - the oldest in the country. Nearby Warren brings more eclectic restaurants and shops. Newport & Providence are each just 30 minutes away, Boston & Cape Cod just over an hour. Don't let this rare opportunity pass you by!
