This unique home is a Johnson City Treasure built by Alfred Abernethy, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright, as his personal residence. Upon entering you are greeted with a bright and airy open concept, featuring large windows, a beautiful suspended walnut staircase, and an indoor garden. To the right you will find a sunken living space which originally had drapes and could be turned into a 5th guest bedroom. The master ensuite is private with ample closets and a 2nd bedroom that could also double as an office or private library. The walls are crafted from pink limestone and hand-selected dark walnut. To the left you will find an expansive living area, with an updated gas fireplace and beautiful skylights, built in suspended tables, a buffet, and large dining table near doors that lead to a private koi pond. Step out to a peaceful retreat. The kitchen features original cherry cabinets, 2 pantries and a wall of storage cabinets. The island includes pull out workspaces and a hand-crafted copper range hood. Continue on to find a utility/storage space and laundry with half bath. Venture upstairs for 2 beds, 3 closets and a Jack and Jill full bath. Across from the main house you will discover an electrical/storage room, an additional finished space that was used as Abernethy's studio but could also be used as an office or home gym. Carry on to a workshop space and Fallout (Bomb) shelter. There you will find a freshly painted, heated space that has a fully functioning half bath, generator, and air purification system. This home has been lovingly preserved while maintaining the original character of the house. It has been updated with new wiring, and plumbing, including a whole house gas tankless water heater and reverse osmosis filtration system. Many light fixtures are original, but converted to LED. Conveniently located in the heart of Johnson City with 2+ acres, between downtown and Science Hill. Don't miss your opportunity to own a piece of his
