This stately home is a fully renovated 1911 Edwardian mansion in one of Bristol, Virginia's oldest neighborhoods, thoughtfully rebuilt as two independent townhome-style residences. 805 Highland Avenue is the property's West residence with its own deed, private entrance, driveway, and yard, along with separate utilities, full firewall division, and no HOA or monthly fee of any kind.
This meticulously renovated two bedroom and two and a half bath property offers a rare combination of authentic turn of the century character and move-in ready comforts. No detail was overlooked in this comprehensive transformation. Offering full modernization and efficiency updates, the property has all new electrical and plumbing, dual-zone gas heating and air, insulated windows, and a custom kitchen with premium stainless appliances.
The century-old craftsmanship rarely seen in homes built today has been preserved throughout: original fireplaces, coved ceilings, original hardwood floors in the main living areas, and extensive ornamental oak woodwork. A deep, welcoming front porch extends across the front of the home.
Inside, the living room is defined by high ceilings, an extraordinary original fireplace, a unique curved alcove, and ornate architectural detailing. The adjoining light-filled dining room features a second fireplace and expansive windows, opening into a bright new kitchen with bespoke maple cabinetry and quartz countertops.
Toward the rear of the main level, a generous laundry and storage area is paired with a convenient half bath. A newly constructed staircase, designed to compliment the original oak millwork, leads upstairs to two spacious primary suites, each with a full bath.
The larger suite also includes an original fireplace and walk-in closet. Outside, the property offers a dedicated level yard, a brand-new driveway, and off-street parking. Highland Avenue provides convenient access to the shops and restaurants of downtown Bristol while retaining the peace and character of one of the city's oldest neighborhoods.
A rare opportunity to own a piece of Bristol's architectural history with the comfort and low-maintenance ease of a luxury townhome. A note on the adjoining residence: 803 Highland is being renovated now by the same owner to the same standard and will be completed soon.
