Property Description

Astonishingly intact 1897 Victorian in the heart of the historic district of Rogersville, TN. This property has changed hands so few times that the large high-ceilinged rooms retain their original details: rich woodwork is unpainted, fireplaces retain their ornate cast iron inserts, original mantels are in place and undamaged, transom windows above the interior doors still function on original hardware, and the stained glass for the large dining room is in place, as are the working interior shutters. The property features a large kitchen space and an adjoining Butler's Pantry leading to a large formal dining room, currently being used as a sitting room. There are six bedrooms - two of which are unusual in that one is a huge bunkroom that could easily be converted into two separate bedrooms and the other functioned as a complete living quarters upstairs. The foundation is a mix of massive stone blocks and brick above and appears to be in incredible condition, unlike many homes of this age. The house sits on a large, level double lot of more than three-quarters of an acre with a large two-bay detached garage. Municipal approval would be required, but the pristine condition, ample space, and the large plot has the potential to serve as an amazing Bed & Breakfast or AirBnB. Neighboring historical properties are in amazing restored condition helping investment in this property maintain value for the long run. The thriving downtown is an easy walk to have coffee in the house that once served as the temporary Confederate Headquarters or lunch at the Inn across the street that served as the Union Headquarters. On the walk home stop into the local eatery famous for the pizza from its wood fired oven. Rogersville is chock full of history and a lively downtown and regular street festivals make for a welcoming atmosphere for your family and guests.
