Welcome to 283 Wood Street, #1, a first floor apartment with two bedrooms and one bath in a recently renovated 1880 house right in the downtown area. This bright and airy open-concept space has high ceilings, hardwood floors, and comfortable furnishings. You may enjoy the shared fenced-in yard with exclusive use of a cozy patio with table, chairs, and umbrella right outside your back door. Off-street parking is available for two cars.
This apartment is only two blocks from the July 4th Parade route and only a few hundred feet from the Town Common where there are tennis/pickleball courts, basketball courts, jungle gyms for kids, a beautiful gazebo and plenty of benches for just admiring the fresh open air and beautiful surroundings. You can take a very short walk to Bristol Harbor where you’ll find many restaurants, shops, the local library, banks, breakfast places, pubs, and parks as well as the ferry to Prudence Island. A short walk down Wood Street you’ll find several very interesting restaurants like Brick, Pivotal Brewing Company, Sakuratani, Common Pub, and our favorite, Pomodoro Italian Kitchen (just three doors away!). A short walk downtown brings you to antique shops, Linden Place Museum, the public library, Independence Park as well as several small parks, the harbor with many beautiful boats, and, during the summer months, the SeaStreak (fast) ferry to Newport and/or Providence.
It is only a short ride to Blithewold, an impressive mansion with astounding gardens and Colt State Park with its miles of walking and bike paths that take you through woods, waterfront, and beach. The East Bay Bike Path stretches for 17 miles from Bristol to Providence. Bike rentals are available very nearby. You can venture further to Newport or find plenty to do right in your own backyard. Everything from this location is easy to get to!
