Welcome to this charming ranch-style home on Bristol's desirable West Side set in a well-established neighborhood just minutes from Narragansett Bay, the East Bay Bike Path, shopping, and all the excitement of Bristol's famous Fourth of July Parade. Currently offering two bedrooms, the home features a third room that was previously used as a bedroom and could easily be converted back, providing the flexibility for a three-bedroom layout. The comfortable single-level floor plan, combined with a nice yard and a full basement, makes this home an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers or those looking to downsize. The large, unfinished basement provides abundant storage space and offers plenty of potential for future use. A new roof adds peace of mind, while the established neighborhood and convenient location make it easy to enjoy everything Bristol has to offer. Whether you're looking for your first home, a place to simplify, or an opportunity to create a three-bedroom residence, this West Side ranch is ready to welcome you home.

Highlands, located between Hope Street and the Mount Hope Bridge, is a residential and waterfront Bristol neighborhood with leafy blocks and harbor views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Colt State Park entrance on Asylum Road, where bike traffic, picnic lawns, and sailboat masts set the daily rhythm. A mix of shingled cottages and mid-century ranches sits on gently curving streets that slope toward Narragansett Bay. Colt State Park’s long shoreline paths and open fields shape an outdoors-forward routine. Downtown’s anchors—DeWolf Tavern, Linden Place, and the Bristol Art Museum—add dining and culture a short ride away. Marinas and small coves keep the landscape tied to the water.
