Properties like this do not come up often! This 1.6 tree filled acres sits in the heart of unincorporated Bristol. This historic home was built pre 1900 and is rumored to have been a boarding house and a hotel at one time. It is mechanically sound and ready for your renovations. The potential here is endless. The property includes a 36x34 heated, steel sided building with a concrete floor. Two additional storage buildings add to the possibility of what you can do here! The small town of Bristol is unincorporated but adjacent to Yorkville giving you the best of both worlds. Low taxes and no HOA or SSA's here, but close to everything!
