5 Howe St, Bristol, RI 02809

A rare opportunity to own a piece of Bristol history! This wonderful well constructed home with its end gable roof, prominent front bay window and recessed corner porch was built in 1865 by the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company. The home has retained many original details throughout including wide plank wood floors in all the rooms, transoms, lighting fixtures and more. Located on a quiet dead end street a block from Bristol's famed 4th of July Parade route, it features a living room with a spacious window seat with storage underneath, adjoining study with built-ins, a dining room and half bathroom. The open eat in kitchen has an abundance of natural light from a bevelled glass transom above a sliding glass door which leads to a spacious deck with railings overlooking a large fenced in yard with brick walkways, well groomed mature plantings, outdoor shed and side driveway. The second floor features three bedrooms with tall ceilings, and a full bathroom with claw foot tube and a separate walk in shower. The finished basement with walk out access boasts 7ft ceilings, a rarity in a house of its year, and includes a large hobby/tv room, full bathroom, utility room and an additional office room. Hot water tank replaced in 2023. This treasured property awaits a new steward to usher it into its next chapter of Bristol history.
