RPL Closes Sale of Bristol’s Historic Codman Place Carriage House

Residential Properties Ltd. is pleased to announce the sale of 12 Howe Street in Bristol for $1.1 million. RPL Sales Associate Mary Ann Lisi proudly represented the seller in this transaction.

The Codman Place Carriage House, designed by Newport Architect George Champlin Mason in 1872, is a 3-bedroom Empire-Style Carriage House originally owned by the Codman Sisters (Elizabeth and Maria), wealthy art and antique collectors from Boston. Today, the house has been lovingly cared for with a new roof, newer heating system, new cobblestone driveway, and fresh paint inside and out. With 12-ft. ceilings, a south-facing wall of glass overlooking the stunning bluestone patio, and beautiful gardens, charm is on full display throughout. The front-to-back living room has a gas fireplace and architectural columns to delineate the open dining area with a large chandelier and matching sconces. The well-equipped kitchen has maple cabinetry, honed black granite counters, and all stainless steel appliances. Another standout is the walk-in vault installed by a rare book collector, which could be reimagined as a stunning wine cellar. The spacious second-floor primary bedroom has ample closet space, while two more large bedrooms, a full bath with a tiled walk-in shower, and laundry conclude this utterly unique, historic property.
