Take a walk back in time in this 1790 Federal-style home known as the Wills Mansion-The Stone House. Sitting on 2.3 acres with mature trees and Holston River frontage, this home shows an excellent example of western frontier stone work and architecture of the eighteen century and is on the National Register of Historic Places. This fine stone-cut dwelling offers privacy, beautiful river frontage with picnic area, large well-built barn with 8 stalls and lots of storage, and also offers a charming guest house cottage for a home office, studio, craft/garden shed or in-law suite. The land also offers a creek, wooded area and cleared land for vegetable or flower gardens. The proud exterior is inviting and the interior will show you "homes aren't built the way they used to be" with the 2 ft walls and windows sills. All the comforts of home are found with the over-sized rooms, three fireplaces (with a 4th hidden behind a wall in the kitchen), two full baths and three large bedrooms. The great room is comfortable with the over-sized fireplace, the kitchen boasts old-fashioned charming stone, rustic style cabinets and an eat-in area for all the company that will want to come and see your home! All fits with the timeless look, yet comfortable by today's standards. The master bedroom is huge (23 X 16) with room for a sitting space and goes out to a covered porch overlooking the river and views! The history is interesting and so is the wonderful "old" home place!
