About this home

Introducing Love Rocks: a once-in-generations waterfront residence in one of Bristol’s most storied maritime settings. Built in 1883 by Nathanael Greene Herreshoff as his private residence, this historic estate occupies a dramatic waterfront point on Bristol Harbor, surrounded by water on three sides. Known as the “Wizard of Bristol,” Herreshoff was behind five undefeated America’s Cup defenders. The estate is now comprised of two private condominiums: a rare offering combining condominium ease with the scale and feel of single-family living. Inside, wood floors, elegant millwork and water views abound from every room. The property features a chef’s kitchen with custom cherry cabinetry, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, and a well appointed pantry. The kitchen opens to a gracious dining area, while the elegant living room offers a beautiful setting by the fire. The cozy family room adds additional gathering space, with a guest bedroom and en suite bath above. Upstairs, the Primary Suite features two en suite baths, large walk-in closet, and fireplace. A second bedroom/office completes this level. Outside, a shared 160ft deep-water dock, two moorings and shoreline beach place Bristol harbor at your doorstep. Private and serene yet walkable, Love Rocks is ideally sited moments from downtown Bristol’s shops, restaurants, the Herreshoff Marine Museum, and Bristol’s celebrated Fourth of July Parade route. Newport is 20 minutes by car or a beautiful boat ride down Narragansett Bay.
