This exquisitely restored historic mansion set on five picturesque acres presents an extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of Tennessee's past, beautifully reimagined for modern living. Once the residence of former Governor John I.

The main residence, encompassing approximately 4,090 square feet, welcomes you with a stately wraparound covered porch, an iconic introduction to the elegance within. Inside, timeless architectural character meets elevated design. The beautifully appointed living room, centered around a wood-burning fireplace and framed by expansive windows, together with the elegant dining room, creates an ideal setting for both intimate gatherings and grand-scale entertaining. The chef's kitchen is a blend of sophistication and functionality, featuring new GE Café appliances, a convection oven, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, a stylish beverage center, and an impressive island designed for gathering. The main-level primary suite, originally the home's parlour, offers a luxurious private retreat complete with its own fireplace and a spacious, spa-inspired bath featuring a walk-in tiled shower and dual vanities. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms each feature their own beautifully updated ensuite baths. From soaking tubs and walk-in tile showers to charming fireplaces and dual vanities, every space reflects a harmonious blend of comfort and classic Southern elegance. Complementing the main home, the enchanting 900-square-foot guest cottage offers a private haven for guests or extended family. Complete with a welcoming living room with fireplace, an upgraded eat-in kitchen, a spacious bedroom with fireplace, one full bath with laundry, and an additional half bath, the cottage is equally inviting. Outdoor living is enhanced by a covered front porch, screened rear porch, and dedicated carport. Throughout both residences, meticulous restoration is evident. From refinished hardwood floors, new engineered hardwoods, updated tilework in all bathrooms, designer lighting, new hardware and predominantly new windows to all of the behind the scenes comprehensive upgrades throughout, no detail has been overlooked. This timeless historic treasure beautifully preserves its rich heritage while incorporating thoughtful modern updates, offering endless possibilities for its next stewards. Whether envisioned as a distinguished private estate or transformed into an exceptional historic bed and breakfast investment, its prime location makes it ideally suited for either opportunity.
