Most people drive right past South Riverside Drive without knowing what's down through there. Tucked off on a quiet dead end, a block from the Doe River, is a 1950 two bedroom that's easy to overlook on paper and hard to leave in person. On a still morning you can hear the water from the porch. Downtown Elizabethton is a short walk in the other direction, and the Tweetsie Trail and covered bridge aren't much farther than that. People pay a lot of money to be close to less. Inside, the house has real character. Exposed ceiling beams, an open living area with good natural light, a kitchen that actually functions. Out back, a deck looks out toward the mountain ridgeline, and once you sit down out there it's hard to find a reason to get back up.
