Public Remarks: Step back in time with this stately historic home located in the heart of Athens, Tennessee. A rare find resting on 1.76 acres with seasonal long-range views of Starr Mountain and surrounded with lush landscape providing a natural privacy buffer. History buffs will appreciate the timeless preservation of character and charm blended with modern day conveniences. On point with the period, this palatial home with over 4900 sq ft, 6 bedrooms, 3 full and 2 half baths, boasts gracious sized rooms, towering 12 and 10 foot ceilings, triple-stacked crown moldings, classic wainscoting, distinguished wood-burning fireplaces and the original hardwood floors refinished and restored to their natural beauty. Two grand primary en-suites on the main level will accommodate separate living quarters. The completely remodeled chef's kitchen with new appliances, lighting, refinished cabinets, granite countertops, a butler's pantry and an abundance of windows that provide a steam of natural light make this one of the favorite gathering spots. To enhance this area is an adjoining oversized mudroom/laundry/craft room. Beautiful new butcher block countertops, plenty of cabinet space and storage for kitchen overflow dishes/items for practical functionality. Sourced locally are the crab orchard stone floors showcased in the expansive den, front porch and walkways. The upper level is a blank canvas for someone with creative vision. There is an abundance of space to include a great room, two bedrooms, bath, and a partial kitchen or it can be redesigned to make it your own. Conveniently located with close proximity to downtown Athens and within walking distance of Tennessee Wesleyan University. Knoxville, Chattanooga, Gatlinburg, the Smoky Mountains and Atlanta are all within an hour or two drive. Don't miss your opportunity to be the next owner of this exquisite and storied historic home.
