Dive into history with this charming, 4 bedroom, two-story, farm house sitting on +/- 1.31 acres of flat, cleared land! Enjoy sitting in your rocking chair on your covered porch, or even better, your top floor balcony, admiring all of the beauty this town has to hold. This home was built over a century ago, possessing all of the antiquity you desire, while getting all of the newness of today's finer things with a little TLC! As you walk through you will see hardwood flooring, carpet, laminate, and tile. Entering through the front door you are welcomed into a spacious foyer with a living room to your left, and a bedroom to your right, that can be used as a study, library, or even a home cinema! There are so many possibilities here! Down the hall to the left is a second, cozy bedroom. Awaiting you at the end is a huge bathroom with a jacuzzi tub and a stand up shower. As you continue through the home, you enter a large formal dining area, and the vast kitchen with a walk in pantry. Going up the stairs you enter another hallway with a second bathroom to your right, an airy laundry room, and a hall closet to store all your extra linens. To the left, you have your two very generous sized bedrooms, and the access to your private balcony. In the bedroom to the left, you have attic access that is extremely roomy. Perfect for all those seasonal storages! The black shingle roof is only 7 years old. A 4 ton A/C unit downstairs is less than a year old, and there is a second unit for the upper level. So much potential in this gorgeous home. Across the street, down your long gravel driveway is the Newport City Park. Here, you can enjoy walking the trail, swimming during spring/summer months, playing sports on the court and the field, and so much more! Only 30 minutes to Gatlinburg, Sevierville, Morristown, and Greeneville! Less than an hour to Knoxville and an hour to Maggie Valley, NC. A prime location! This is a MUST SEE! Call today to schedule a viewing!
