Public Remarks: *** Happy New Year from the Owners! The seller is offering a $5,000 concession, available for use at the buyer's discretion. *** Dedicated space perfect for a HOME OFFICE with PRIVATE access Greek Revival Home in Iconic Solar Hill - Nearly 100 Years of History Located in one of Bristol's most iconic and historically significant areas, this Greek Revival residence on Solar Street offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of the city's heritage. Solar Hill was added to both the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register of Historic Places in 2001, and this property received the Bristol Virginia Historic District Preservation Award in 2016. This home showcases remarkable original character and craftsmanship, including classic architectural details, historic fireplaces, and overall design reflective of true Greek Revival style. Most rooms feature window A/C units, and the attic includes a ceiling fan. The well-maintained home offers approximately 13 rooms, including 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 6 fireplaces. The floorplan includes a formal living room, formal dining room, eat-in kitchen, and a library with pocket doors, French doors, and built-in bookcases. Recent updates include a charming coffee nook and approximately 500 square feet of additional living space. A highly desirable feature is the versatile private office space located at the rear of the home. With a separate entrance and potential waiting area, it provides an exceptional setup for a home-based business while maintaining privacy from the main living areas. A spacious foyer welcomes you inside, leading to a main-level primary bedroom with ensuite bath. Upstairs are four generously sized bedrooms—most with fireplaces—along with two full bathrooms, a wide hallway, a covered porch, and a sunroom. The layout of the upstairs and rear portion of the home offers flexibility for living, working, or potential short-term rental use such as a Bed & Breakfast, if permitted by local regulations. Outdoor features include a covered front veranda, sunroom, garage, large attic, basement, and a beautifully maintained garden. A unique log cabin added by a previous owner provides additional options for use or enjoyment. The fully fenced yard is ideal for children, pets, or added privacy. The front yard features original wrought-iron fencing, while the backyard offers ample space for gardening, outdoor activities, or entertaining. The peaceful, tree-lined setting provides a serene retreat while remaining minutes from Bristol's vibrant amenities. Enjoy nearby favorites such as Blackbird Bakery, Bristol Bagel & Bakery, the historic Bristol Train Station, the Birthplace of Country Music Museum, and performances at The Paramount Center for the Arts. Food City and Kroger are also just a short drive away. This home is minutes from Tennessee and the famous State Street, offering local shops, dining, festivals, and downtown events. Enjoy views of the South Holston Mountains from the veranda or upper balcony. Solar Street is one of Bristol's most historic and beloved areas, known for its architectural character and lasting significance. Photos capture much of the charm, but this exceptional property is best appreciated in person. Buyer/buyer's agent to verify all information. Info deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
