Property Description
Welcome to one of Bristol's most well loved historical landmarks, ''Belle Haven''. Belle Haven means ''beautiful place of refuge'' and it does not disappoint. This elegant home is a hidden oasis on nearly an acre, just blocks away from flourishing downtown Bristol with a well equipped and beautifully designed modern kitchen, 7 fireplaces (3 of which are gas and 4 are ornamental) 5 bedrooms, expansive decks, porches, and a pervasive feeling of tranquility while still being so close to restaurants, shopping, and only 25 minutes to the Tri-Cities Airport! The entire property is a living work of art with winding pathways, mature trees, a gazebo and grilling patio, and a large, lushly framed koi pond with lotus flowers, blooming vines, ferns, dogwoods, and evergreens. The koi pond is an especially relaxing vision from the dining or sunroom deck and its soothing sound can be heard from many areas of the house and garden. Just past the gazebo, raised planting beds and a large, well-appointed gardening shed are ready for the most ambitious vegetable or flower gardener. From the turn onto the tree lined driveway, past the wrap around porch, to the back garden and the peace of the house itself, you will feel the connection to this home's architectural history, nature, and the local area. Belle Haven has it all and there is nothing more wonderful than a sprawling, southern, wrap around front porch that invites visitors, coffee in the mornings, and cool shade on warm afternoons. History and modern design tastefully and thoughtfully merge throughout this 5496 square foot home. Modern updates have been made to the plumbing, HVAC, kitchen, fireplaces (all gas) and bathroom fixtures. Several rooms have just been painted and hand-stenciled painted tile now adds an artistic touch to the downstairs bathroom floor. The entire home is filled with natural light, large open spaces, and tall ceilings, allowing a beautiful flow throughout. The gourmet kitchen is a visual masterpiece
