Would you like to own 2 homes deeply rooted in Kingsport's history? Listed in the National Registry of Historic Places since 1973, both the main home (built in 1884) and the log cabin (built in 1790) comprise the estate regarded as Mount Ida. The main home offers over 5,000 finished square feet of beautiful craftsmanship combined with some modern touches to provide comfortable living.
You're welcomed by a wrap around porch and covered front porch. Through the entry, you'll notice original red heart pine floors, 11ft ceilings, walnut mantels on the 9 fireplaces, and plenty of space to host a large dinner party. The large parlor and period furnishings create a wonderful social space for your guests and family. On the first and second level, discover 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Downstairs in the finished basement, there's another living space, full bath, laundry room, another bedroom, den with wet bar, and walk-out access to the wrap around lower porch. Outside, take advantage of the storage in both barns, more gathering space in the gazebo, and plenty of yard for more gardening, parties, or play space.
Built by David Ross in 1790, the log cabin was moved in 1884 to the rear of the property to accommodate the construction of the main home. The guest house has 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath, 2 covered porches, and some quaint built-ins. According to the seller, it's the oldest livable house in Sullivan County! It was previously rented long-term on several occasions giving the option of passive income.
Conveniently located, overflowing with history and charm, modern conveniences of heat pumps, indoor plumbing, and city sewer, the Mount Ida estate offers a unique living experience. Schedule a showing and imagine the possibilities it can provide for you.
