Imagine being situated peacefully atop a 6.2 acre property where the mountain views distract you from the busyness of the world. This stunning, classically built, brick home tucked just barely out of the city limits of Elizabethton will give you the peace, space, and overall escape that you've been hoping to find. As you wind up the driveway alongside the curves of the brick retaining wall, you will see a beautiful landscape, the perfect spot to park your RV or build an extra structure, a storage building, a detached garage that is ideal for storing your extra vehicles or becoming your workshop, and a home whose stately, traditional structure invites you inside. The main floor of this home offers a spacious, light filled kitchen with ample cabinetry, a dining space enveloped by windows that beg you to watch the sunrises in the morning, and a large living room meant for gathering. Down the hallway, you will see a sizable laundry room with plenty of extra room for storage. Three bedrooms and two full bathrooms complete the level, including the Primary bedroom and full en suite bathroom with walk-in shower. Downstairs, your space is doubled with a level that could easily be used for a multigenerational living given the separate entry, two sizable bedrooms, a full bathroom, and an expansive den with wood-burning fireplace, large bar, and kitchenette. A chairlift allows for easy access to either floor for those that might not be able to navigate stairs easily. This home has been well maintained with updates throughout the years while still allowing for personal touches. Outside, you will be impressed with the options for entertaining, including a covered brick patio with fireplace and grill that might lure you to enjoying many more outdoor dining experiences. You will enjoy the impressively large, freshly painted deck meant for entertaining or simply soaking in the hot tub with complete privacy. Fruit trees and bushes adorn the property and carefully chosen landscaping additions are found throughout. A fenced-in front yard area is also available for your dogs. Owning a home that feels like a private retreat from the world with no restrictions or an HOA, but just five minutes to town couldn't be more ideal. This property is also located just 15 minutes from the Bristol motor Speedway and 20 minutes from Watauga Lake. Come see what this gorgeous Property has to offer for a price that seems hard to imagine for what you get!
