Description

Welcome home to your 3 bed 1 bath farmhouse cottage only 2 minutes away from charming downtown Jonesborough( Tennessee's Oldest Town). Sitting on 4.49 +/- acres this property is a true gem to those wanting acreage and to be near town. At the front of the property you are welcomed through the gate by a babbling creek and a large magnolia tree. Plenty of yard space surrounding the home creates an inviting atmosphere and space to garden or make your own. An RV hookup on the side of the home creates additional space for potential income or for visitors to stay. The front and back porch are both covered to enjoy time outside year round. The laundry room can be entered from the back porch. Inside, the bathroom has been freshly updated and you can relax in the clawfoot bathtub. There are 3 bedrooms as well as an open bonus room on the rear of the home. Your spacious living room includes a gas fireplace and original wood flooring. The kitchen sits in the center of the home with stainless steel appliances included. The unfinished basement entry is located on the side of the home. Outside, new three rail wood and hot wire fencing have been installed for the current use of horses being housed on three acres of the property but could easily be used for a multitude of other livestock options. The run-in shelter has been converted to two leveled and rubber matted stalls with new gates. A french drain and piping have been installed as well as fresh mulch to reduce mud around the stalls. There are also alternative building locations on the property if you love the location. Come add your personal touches and make this home your own, or perfect for a historic AirBnB option. *New external aerial photos coming soon to reflect tree removal on rear of home. Buyer/Buyer's agent to verify all info.

  • Merrilyna
    "We have recently just moved in the area I’m not familiar with all the distinct features of the neighborhood. It is very beautiful, clean and the people tend to be very friendly here. We are not sure what trick-or-treating would be like since we are new, however there are roads that have no sidewalk and where cars tend to drive faster than they should. The neighborhood might be better served for children had it been made with side roads or sidewalks."
