256 Hope ST Bristol, RI 02809

Welcome to 256 Hope Street in the heart of historic Downtown Bristol. This restored gem exudes charm pre-dating the US Constitution. The magic starts with the magnificent front hallway's beautifully restored wide-board pumpkin pine and fir floors and stunning antique lighting. A culinary artist's kitchen has stainless steel appliances, custom cherry cabinets and Italian porcelain tile counters. The kitchen has a time-capsule butler's pantry and transitions to the dining room, completing the entertainment showpiece. The first floor ends with a spacious living room and library and a half-bath under the grand staircase. The second floor has the primary suite with full bath containing porcelain tile floors and an original ball and claw tub. Each room on this level can repurpose as a bedroom, office or sitting room. Rough plumbing is installed for an additional bath or appliances. There is a walk-up attic for creative expansion and a back staircase. The private rear yard's mature gardens spawn a green thumbed oasis perfect for a good book or entertaining. This historic home is close to all of Bristol's amenities. Walk to the beach, restaurants and coffee shops or pedal to the East Bay bike path. Make lasting memories with the best seat in town for the Bristol 4th of July Parade!
