Whether you're drawn to its colorful history or its unbeatable waterfront setting, this property is a true conversation piece and a rare opportunity in the Tri-Cities. Just a stone's throw from Tri-Cities Airport, the new Bristol Casino, Bristol Motor Speedway, and even multiple ski resorts, the location offers convenience and entertainment in every direction.
