Tons of space - all on one level! This unique, 5 bdrm, 3 bath historical home on 2.55 acres has been beautifully remodeled, yet has retained some of it's charm from the past. Built in 1947, this home began it's life as the East Cherokee Elementary School from 1948 to 2002. If your wishlist includes a huge kitchen & gathering areas, have a look! Storage room off the kitchen would make an awesome pantry. Over-sized living room leads out to a covered, front porch with over 500 sf to relax and enjoy the mountain views. Master Bedroom has 2 walk-in closets and a newly remodeled master bath with a walk-in shower featuring 2 rain showerheads and a lovely double vanity. Gorgeous hall bath has a custom, vaulted wood ceiling and cozy spa tub, situated adjacent to bedrooms 2, 3 & 4. There are 2 steps up to bedroom #5 as it used to be the stage in the old school house. Original wood floors have been restored in this room which is currently used as an office. Other cool historical remnants of this home's past are the principal's office with an intact ''recess bell'' that now serves as a laundry room, the old ''school bell'' is still functional and can be accessed in the hall. Large flat area behind the house which used to be the school baseball diamond would be a great space to add a garage if that is on your wish list. Future growth opportunities include an additional 1000 sf of tall attic space & over 800 sf in the unfinished basement. Please note that the house currently does not have a permanent working heat source! Ducting is in place and seller will install 2 new HVAC units prior to closing with an acceptable offer. The water source is an 88' deep, private well which has a 3 year old well pump, however City water is now available at the road. This property is located just minutes from Friendship, Laurel and Jacobs Creek Marinas to launch your boat and enjoy water recreation. Listing will be able to show beginning July 31st!
MOST OF THE WORK HAS BEEN DONE, SO JUST MOVE IN THIS NICE LARGE NEWLY REMODELED RESIDENCE JUST FIVE MINUTES FROM SOUTH HOLSTON LAKE IN TWO DIRECTIONS. 5 BEDROOMS 3 BATHS, BONUS ROOM, STORAGE ROOM, BIG LAUNDRY ROOM AND A GREAT VIEW FROM THE FRONT PORCH.
