Description

LOCATION + LEGACY + UPGRADES . This stunning 1917 double-brick farmhouse sits atop one of the highest points in the city, offering panoramic views of Buffalo Mountain, the NC mountain ranges, and the JC skyline that no other property in the area can match — visible from both floors and the wraparound porch. Steps from ETSU, walkable to downtown, the Tweetsie Trail, Yeehaw Brewery, and parks. Inside, original 1917 heart-pine floors set the tone — warm, wide, and gorgeous. The grand front staircase, crown molding, detailed doorways, generous rooms, and corner gas fireplace (2022) deliver the architectural soul buyers come to the Tree Streets to find. The primary suite features his-and-hers closets, a private bath, and its own private staircase. The sunroom opens to a fenced backyard and new concrete patio — perfect for entertaining. The owners have invested heavily and done it right: new roof with added structural support (2023), dual independent HVACs for each floor (2023/2024), full electrical rewire (2020), new water heater (2023), whole-house water filter + softener + 9-stage RO drinking system (2022), new cell blinds (2025), second-floor remodel adding bedroom space and closets (2023), antique barn wood front porch (2024), and second-floor plumbing access panel (2024). Samsung washer/dryer (2023) convey. On a rare full acre — one of the last in the Tree Streets — with five deep-bed gardens, mature fruit plantings (blueberry, elderberry, blackberry, grape, peach), and newly planted trees for privacy and beauty. The 3,000 SF detached garage/workshop (2020) features a deep foundation for RVs or heavy equipment and its own electrical panel. The original brick garage — grandfathered to the street line — is ready to become a studio apartment or in-law suite. A .302-acre parcel can be split and sold immediately (comparable lots: $56K-$85K). University school lottery priority. No HOA. Zoned R2. Don't miss this one.
