About this home
Nestled on one of the highest points within Johnson City limits, this beautifully restored 1917 brick farmhouse offers panoramic views of both the city skyline and surrounding mountain ranges. Situated on a rare one acre lot inside city limits, this property combines privacy, convenience, and timeless craftsmanship, all for under five hundred thousand dollars.
From the northeast facing windows, enjoy breathtaking views of Buffalo Mountain and the North Carolina peaks. The southwest side reveals a sweeping cityscape below, scenery rarely found in this area. The grounds feature mature landscaping, deep garden beds, and established fruit plantings including blueberry, elderberry, blackberry, grape, and peach, along with new redbud, maple, and Virginia pine trees that create a peaceful park like setting.
Inside, original 1917 heart pine floors grace the main level and much of the second floor, complemented by new hardwoods added during the upstairs remodel. The home features approximately three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, a spacious living room with gas fireplace added in 2022, a large formal dining room, and a bright updated kitchen with adjoining laundry and storage areas.
The private upper suite offers his and hers closets and an updated bath, accessed by a second staircase. Thoughtful updates ensure comfort and peace of mind, including:
• New roof in 2022
• Dual HVAC systems, upper level in 2022 and main level in 2024
• Whole house water filter, softener, and nine stage reverse osmosis drinking system installed in 2022
• New water heater in 2023 with an additional tankless option
• Electrical system completely updated in 2020 with new panels in both the house and garage
• Gas fireplace, remodeled second floor, and new window blinds in 2025
The front porch, restored in 2021 with reclaimed barn wood, is the perfect spot to watch the sunrise over the mountains. A new concrete patio, fenced backyard, and established landscaping create beautiful outdoor living spaces for relaxing or entertaining.
Additional highlights include solid double brick construction that offers strength and energy efficiency, along with a detached original brick garage that could be converted into a studio apartment, in law suite, or workshop with existing electrical service. A separate three thousand square foot garage and storage building provides ample space for heavy equipment, RV storage, or creative projects.
Located just minutes from ETSU and downtown Johnson City, you will have quick access to local restaurants, shops, and the Tweetsie Trail. With R2 zoning, no homeowners association, and the potential to subdivide or use portions of the land for personal projects, this property offers flexibility rarely found so close to town.
This is a one of a kind opportunity to own a piece of Johnson City history, modernized with care and surrounded by privacy, views, and convenience.
