Built in 1867 in the post civil war era and proudly listed on the National Historic Register, this Federal-style estate is a rare opportunity to own a true piece of Bristol's history. Showcasing 5 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, 8 fireplaces, and over 4,400+ sqft of living space, the home offers a layout that is both functional and full of character.
