🛏 4 Bedrooms | 🛁 5 Bathrooms | 📐 4,199 SQ FT | 🏡 2.4 Acres | 🏠 Guest Cottage
Step into a living piece of Bristol’s history with this iconic Neoclassical Revival residence, a striking architectural treasure nestled in one of the city’s most beloved and historic neighborhoods. Built circa 1901, this grand estate rises from the storied grounds of the once-celebrated Hotel Fairmount, which stood here until it was lost to fire in 1900. What remains is nothing short of extraordinary—2.4 private acres crowned by one of the region’s most distinguished homes.
🏛 A Grand Expression of Early 20th-Century Craftsmanship
This stately home commands attention from the moment you arrive. Towering full-height classical columns frame a wide wraparound porch, while a pedimented gable and symmetrical facade speak to the refined tastes of the early 1900s elite. The craftsmanship of this home is immediately evident—from the original wood entry doors and period-correct windows to the balustraded upper balcony overlooking the manicured grounds.
✨ Step Inside History
Inside, the home welcomes you with soaring ceilings, intricate original millwork, and solid wood doors throughout. Multiple fireplaces adorned with original mantels add warmth and charm to nearly every room, creating the perfect backdrop for both formal gatherings and everyday living.
Whether you’re hosting guests in the gracious dining room, unwinding in the cozy parlor, or enjoying quiet time in the sun-drenched sitting room, this home’s layout is both functional and elegant. Large rooms flow seamlessly into one another, creating a home that feels both open and inviting.
