Property Description
Entering this historic home, you're welcomed by a sweeping staircase and elegant 12-over-12 sash windows that flood the rooms with natural light. The home's beautifully restored plaster walls, hand-carved mantels, and meticulously replicated original wood doors reflect its rich history. Stunning balcony porches with sidelights and transoms offer serene views of lush grounds and historic magnolias.
The heart of the mansion is its chef's dream kitchen, blending historical charm with modern luxury. Custom cabinetry, beautiful appliances, and an open layout make it perfect for both cooking and entertaining. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining and living spaces, each boasting exquisite architectural details.
This estate holds deep ties to East Tennessee history. During the Civil War, General Sherman briefly used the property, and throughout its history, the home has hosted notable figures, adding layers to its storied past. Now beautifully preserved.
With its grand spaces and beautiful grounds, this property also offers endless possibilities. From a private residence to a unique event space, the historic charm and elegance make it ideal for hosting weddings, gatherings, or retreats. This is a rare opportunity to own a versatile piece of local heritage where timeless architecture meets modern comfort and potential.
