Home For Sale

Built in 1903, Belle Haven stands as part of an impressive row of homes originally developed by A.D. Reynolds, brother to tobacco magnate R.J. Reynolds. This remarkable residence offers nearly an acre of privacy and natural beauty, just moments from the vibrant heart of downtown Bristol. Step inside and you'll find the perfect blend of old-world craftsmanship and modern sophistication. The gourmet kitchen is a showpiece-thoughtfully updated with custom cabinetry, a matching Sub-Zero refrigerator, uncut marble countertops, coffered ceilings, and a deep farmhouse sink overlooking the gardens. A gas range and working fireplace make this space ideal for both serious cooking and casual entertaining. Throughout the elegant home, large windows and tall ceilings fill each room with natural light. Seven fireplaces-four gas-add warmth and character to every level. Four spacious bedrooms, expansive porches and decks, and tranquil outdoor spaces create a peaceful retreat that's still just minutes from shops, dining, and a vibrant downtown. The primary suite upstairs is a private sanctuary with multiple closets, two balconies, a dressing room, and fireplaces in both the bedroom and bath. A custom steam and aromatherapy shower, soaking tub, and generous layout make it a true escape. Additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a laundry room complete the upper level, with one bedroom set apart for added privacy. Downstairs, the basement offers a wine cellar, workshop areas, another bathroom, and abundant storage. Outside, the property unfolds like a garden painting-stone pathways, mature trees, and an array of flowering plants surrounding a koi pond with lotus blooms. A gazebo and patio provide gathering spaces, while a formal rose garden and large garden shed invite the hands of a dedicated gardener. The front yard is fully-fenced with black metal and a new electric gate for backyard entrance. From the moment you turn into the tree-lined drive and step onto the wraparound porch, Belle Haven welcomes you with the timeless grace of Southern architecture-where history and modern comfort meet in perfect harmony.
