About This Home
Set along Bristol’s waterfront with sweeping west-facing sunset views, this exceptional first-floor residence at Wyndstowe c.1899 offers a rare combination of Gilded Age historic grandeur and modern comforts. This waterfront residence features elegantly proportioned living spaces with high ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and original architectural detailing, thoughtfully paired with modern updates including a European-inspired kitchen, luxurious baths, and central air. The living room, dining area, kitchen, and primary suite are all oriented to capture uninterrupted water views, creating a seamless connection to the surrounding landscape. A defining feature is the expansive private bluestone terrace—approximately 61’ x 29’—with a covered “outdoor living room,” offering an extraordinary setting for entertaining or quiet evenings overlooking the water. Private entrances enhance a sense of exclusivity, while the scale of the terrace provides a rare extension of living space directly on the waterfront. Residents enjoy 1.6 acres of manicured grounds, a summer house, and direct access to Union Street Beach for swimming, kayaking, or simply enjoying the shoreline. Located just moments from the shops, dining, and waterfront amenities of historic downtown Bristol. This is a distinctive offering and represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own this "jewel in the crown" of waterfront condominium living, securing your place in history.
