Fourth of July Feature: Bristol, Rhode Island

Home to Roger Williams University and the southern end of the East Bay Bike Path, until 1854, Bristol was one of five state capitals in Rhode Island. The ten-mile peninsula offers waterfront, historic and new construction options all in one setting.

Fourth of July celebrations in the town centers around the nation’s oldest continuously running parade. The parade, inaugurated in 1785, will dispatch its 232 run this Fourth of July.

With no shortage of history and entertainment options, luxury real estate is peppered throughout the peninsula. 165 Poppasquash Road, located on the town’s secondary peninsula, Poppasquash, offers a fully renovated 7,000 square foot home with its original 1940s flair.

Set on over five acres with over 200 feet of waterfront, 165 Poppasquash Road is offered at $3,950,000 by Bridgette Soby.
