Unique opportunity to own two pieces of Kingsport's history! Located in the historic Boatyard District, these vintage homes (sold together) are located on the Kingsport Greenbelt and own a front row view of the Holston River. Both have been carefully restored, preserving many period features, while upgrading for modern living. Riverside, also known as the Martin House, was originally constructed in 1818. It features two full stories, a finished attic/loft and a cellar. Outside, enjoy two covered porches facing the river and two patios. This home has been fully updated with new electrical, plumbing, windows, two heat pumps, gas logs in original fireplaces, modern kitchen and bathrooms. Original hardwood flooring and exposed beams remain. Notable highlights are the copper sinks and hickory cabinetry in the kitchen and curly maple trim. (MLS #994958) The Guest House at Riverside, also known as the Ross-Thomas House, was built between 1818 and 1830 on a hand-cut stone foundation and offers one level living with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, a covered front porch with river view, brick patio, and is surrounded by perennial gardens, a greenhouse/solarium and small goldfish pool with waterfall. During its restoration, the home gained an elevated kitchen with cherry cabinets, double dishwasher and a convection oven. The living/dining room has river views, a poplar ceiling and a fireplace. This home has a new metal roof and new paved driveway. The website for the Guest House will also convey: riversidekingsport.com. (MLS #9949959) Whether you are looking for a charming personal home, the possibility for a bed and breakfast or VRBO, Riverside is ideal. Property is in the Planned Village District Zone, allowing Airbnb, office, and retail buildings. Both homes are on the National Register of Historic Places.
