Property Description

Now on the market for the first time in 120 years, the King House is the oldest house in Bristol. Originally built between 1814 and 1816 by the Reverend James King, the home stood at the center of a large plantation that gradually gave way as the cities of Bristol, Virginia, and Bristol, Tennessee, grew around it. Today, the King House sits on Solar Hill overlooking downtown, with incredible views of the city and surrounding mountains.

Offering approximately 5,000 square feet, the home features four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a solarium, music room, library, and much more.

For the past five years, the King House has been undergoing a careful restoration. The current owners have brought that work nearly to completion and are now offering this remarkable property to someone who can carry the restoration through its final chapter. Improvements include a new heating and air system, gas lines to four fireplaces, three with gas logs, a new kitchen with custom cabinetry, extensive plaster repairs, a recent roof, and recently painted exterior.

The home sits on approximately half an acre with a new privacy fence and six-foot iron driveway gate.

Perhaps most remarkably, the King House retains an extraordinary collection of furnishings and materials associated with its history. Original furnishings placed in the house between 1899 and 1920 remain, along with hundreds of antique books that can convey, fine antique furniture, bookcases, a grand piano, and much more. The house even retains original blueprints from its 1892 and 1902 renovations.

This is a rare opportunity to own a true piece of our region's history, a home where it is said that three United States presidents once stayed, and one that stood here long before Bristol itself was even a dream.

At an exceptionally approachable price, the King House offers something increasingly difficult to find: extraordinary history, remarkable character, and the opportunity to become the next steward of one of our region's most important historic homes.
