RPL Closes Million-Dollar Sale of Bristol Contemporary Home

Residential Properties Ltd. is excited to announce the sale of 9 Howe Street in Bristol for $1,485,000. RPL Sales Associate Dory Skemp represented the seller in this transaction. 

Designed by noted Bristol architect Lombard J. Pozzi in 2001, this distinctive 2-bedroom, 3-bath home is set in Bristol’s coveted lower High Street historic neighborhood, just steps from Bristol Harbor and an easy walk to downtown shops, restaurants, museums, and the library. Offering over 2,690 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space—much of it on one level—the home combines architectural interest with exceptional livability. The main floor is centered around a dramatic, vaulted-ceiling, fireplaced living room which is open to the dining area and kitchen. Expansive windows flood the home with natural light, contributing to its airy atmosphere. A private primary suite with full bath and a large walk-in closet is also located on this main level, along with laundry, a full working pantry, and a second full bath. The second floor features a wide balcony overlooking the living room below, with inviting reading and sleeping nooks, plus a generous office with floor-to-ceiling bookcases. This level includes a private guest suite with a full bath and walk-in closet, as well as a separate workroom. Tucked away on a quiet dead-end street, this home offers peaceful privacy while remaining closely connected to the charm, history, and walkable lifestyle of downtown Bristol.
