Residential Properties Ltd. is excited to announce the sale of 291 High Street in Bristol for $1.7 million. RPL Sales Associate Paula Silva represented the buyer in this transaction.
Following a two-year renovation, this historic Greek Revival home combines an in-town location with approximately half an acre of mature landscaped grounds. Built in 1838 by William H. DeWolf and later expanded by the Guiteras family, the grand residence reflects both its 19th-century history and recent updates completed in 2025. Set back from the street, the inviting entrance has a large and deep front rocker porch for summer and family enjoyment. The main level provides a double parlor to include living and dining rooms with high ceilings and gas fireplaces, along with a renovated kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, induction cooking, convection steam oven, and Sub-Zero refrigeration. Additional architectural details include a lovely marble fireplace and three pairs of French doors overlooking the grounds. The former kitchen now serves as a breakfast room and pantry, complemented by a newly added half bath and central air conditioning. The second floor offers three bedrooms, updated baths, laundry, and an office, while the third floor includes finished bonus rooms with plumbing in place for a future bath. Exterior features include a garage, courtyard with fountain, and expansive grounds, all within walking distance of downtown restaurants, shops, and the harbor.
