Property Description
Step back in time with this stately historic home located in the heart of Athens, Tennessee. A rare find resting on 1.76 acres with seasonal long-range views of Starr Mountain and surrounded with lush landscape providing a natural privacy buffer. History buffs will appreciate the timeless preservation of character and charm blended with modern day conveniences. On point with the period, this palatial home with over 4900 sq ft, 6 bedrooms, 3 full and 2 half baths, boasts gracious sized rooms, towering 12 and 10 foot ceilings, triple-stacked crown moldings, classic wainscoting, distinguished wood-burning fireplaces and the original hardwood floors refinished and restored to their natural beauty. Two grand primary en-suites on the main level will accommodate separate living quarters. The completely remodeled chef's kitchen with new appliances, lighting, refinished cabinets, granite countertops, a butler's pantry and an abundance of windows that provide a steam of natural light make this one of the favorite gathering spots. To enhance this area is an adjoining oversized mudroom/laundry/craft room. Beautiful new butcher block countertops, plenty of cabinet space and storage for kitchen overflow dishes/items for practical functionality. Sourced locally are the crab orchard stone floors showcased in the expansive den, front porch and walkways. The upper level offers a true blank canvas for those with a creative vision. With its generous space, it can easily accommodate a great room, two bedrooms, a bath, and even a partial kitchen, or be reimagined entirely to suit your needs. If the main level already provides ample living space, the upper level also serves as an expansive storage area. Conveniently located with close proximity to downtown Athens and within walking distance of Tennessee Wesleyan University. Knoxville, Chattanooga, Gatlinburg, the Smoky Mountains and Atlanta are all within an hour or two drive. Don't miss your opportunity to be the next owner of this exquisite and storied historic home.

Automated home estimates are a starting point, not a final answer. National websites do not know if your roof is five years old or twenty-five. They do not understand the value of a good piece of land in East Tennessee. At Real Estate Concepts, we combine instant data with actual local expertise to give you a valuation you can trust.
How It Works
Step 1: Tell us your address. Fill in the form — name, phone, email, and your property address.
Step 2: A local expert personally checks it. The number you see right away is your first-look value from a computer. Then one of our local East Tennessee experts personally checks it against real sold homes near you — the comps an algorithm can't weigh, like condition, updates, and your street. That personal check is the CMA.
Step 3: We talk through the real number. We'll walk you through what your home would actually sell for and what we'd do to get it — no obligation, and if the timing's wrong, we'll say so.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How is this different from a standard online estimate?
A: Speed and accuracy. You get immediate data from our system, backed up by a manual review from a local expert who knows the area roads and market trends.
Q: Is there a fee for this service?
A: No. We provide free valuations as a service to our East Tennessee community. There is no obligation to list with us.
Q: What areas do you cover?
A: Our agents live and work across East Tennessee, covering Morgan, Roane, Anderson, Scott, Claiborne, and Grainger counties and beyond.
Q: Do you have to visit my property in person?
A: Not for the initial valuation. We can run the numbers based on public records and recent local sales. In-person visits are available if you want a highly precise listing price.
