Step into history with modern comforts in this Victorian Cottage on 1.58 acres in Rheatown, just off US 11E. A year-round creek enhances the peaceful setting, offering country living without the upkeep of a large farm. Located 11 miles from Greeneville, 14 miles from Jonesborough, and 22 miles from Johnson City, it provides both privacy and convenience. The wraparound Victorian porch with gingerbread trim welcomes you into a remodeled home full of character. Built to last, it features a durable metal roof and limestone foundation, which an appraiser noted could last another 100 years. Inside, original wide-plank wood floors lead into a cozy den with a propane fireplace, connecting to the dining area and remodeled kitchen. Both rooms feature octagonal recessed ceilings. The kitchen boasts granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a stamped tile floor, and a pantry with pie hutch doors—ideal for storing homegrown goods. Across the foyer, the spacious living room, currently used as a master suite, includes a propane fireplace, bay window, and smart bathroom access. A trap door in the foyer, rumored to have been part of the Underground Railroad, adds historical intrigue. Upstairs, a private retreat with its own entrance and keypad lock makes it perfect for guests, rental income, or multi-generational living. This level features three bedrooms, attic storage, a Jack-and-Jill bath, and a versatile hallway space. Two bedrooms have private balconies with scenic views. Recent updates include electrical upgrades, a new water heater, HVAC ductwork improvements, and updated plumbing. The manageable 1.58 acres is perfect for homesteaders wanting space to garden and raise animals without excessive acreage. A powered gazebo overlooks the creek, while established garden plots, fruit trees, a powered workshop shed, and a chicken coop make self-sufficiency easier. This home blends historic charm with modern updates—schedule your showing today!
