Another One Bites the Dust

By
Real Estate Agent with Mountains to Lakes Real Estate, Inc.

Another One Bites the Dust...I mean that only in a good way of course. 

Owning a real estate company in Downtown Harriman, Tennessee has been a real blessing. My building is turn of the century and much of my business is historic, turn of the century homes too. 

It takes a special buyer, one that loves to nuture and care for a home of this age.  It can be a very rewarding experience. Many times houses of this age will stay on the market more days than usual waiting for that special buyer to come along.

Well, that special buyer did come along for this wonderful house. Very traditional on the exterior but  contemporary on the inside.  This 111 year old home has 5 bedrooms, 2 baths and 2300+ square feet. It also has a detached 1 bedroom, 1 bath apartment.

This one may have bitten the dust but there are several more available ranging in price from $79,900 up to $249,900.  If you've been thinking about buying a historic home, call Mountains to Lakes Real Estate. We can help you with ALL your real estate needs, from the mountains to the lakes and everything in between! 865-285-9042

Kim - Beautiful home and I'm not surprised it's sold - congratulations! I live in a home built in 1915 and it does take some extra TLC, but it well worth it. It has so much character and charm - they really don't make um like they used too! I also love to blend traditional furnishing with a contemporary vibe - it marries well and looks great!

Kristine...this house had sooo much charm. Most of our turn of the century homes are very victorian in style. This one just felt so fresh!

Gabrielle...it really was not a good one to drive by.  The inside was so great and you couldn't tell that by just driving by.
