Property Description
RUN YOUR BUSINESS FROM HOME & STOP PAYING RENT!
POTENTIAL AIRBNB INCOME TO HELP OFFSET YOUR MORTGAGE!
IDEAL MULTIGENERATIONAL LAYOUT!
BUILT BY BRISTOL'S FIRST JUDGE! (Judge Robertson)
Live here. Work here. Potentially earn here. This remarkable Greek Revival home on iconic Solar Street offers a rare combination of historic character, flexible living space, private business accommodations, and potential income-producing opportunities.
The home was built by Bristol's first judge and has a unique history of combining residential and business use. Former owners operated an insurance company from the property, making the existing separate business space ideal for today's entrepreneurs.
BUSINESS OWNERS--STOP PAYING RENT!
A dedicated private office with its own separate entrance and potential waiting/reception area allows you to operate your business while keeping your personal living space separate. Ideal for an insurance agency, attorney, accountant, consultant, real estate professional, or other home-based business, subject to applicable regulations.
Why pay rent for office space when you could invest in your own property?
AIRBNB / INCOME POTENTIAL
The home's size, historic appeal, multiple bedrooms, flexible layout, and proximity to Downtown Bristol create an exciting opportunity to explore active Airbnb, short-term rental, or Bed & Breakfast use, subject to local regulations and approvals. Potentially use rental income to help offset your mortgage while enjoying the property yourself.
MULTIGENERATIONAL LIVING
With approximately 13 rooms, 5 bedrooms, and 3 full bathrooms, this home offers exceptional flexibility for multigenerational living. A main-level primary bedroom with ensuite bath provides convenience, while four additional upstairs bedrooms and two full baths allow multiple generations to live together while maintaining privacy.
