This remarkable home, known as the BAKER house, is unique with a fascinating history. Tax records say built in 1890 but other evidence suggest as early as 1865. Historical photos show little change to exterior structure but interior tastefully modernized while maintaining original style. This home is featured in OLD BUTLER, the story of Butler, TN and Watauga Lake. Watauga Lake and Watauga Lake Winery are 5 minutes away. When you step inside, the owner's craftsmanship as well as his respect for the home's history is on display. Owner has preserved documents, textbooks from Watauga Acadamy, letters, blueprints, receipts. Visiting this home is taking a step back in time but with all the modern conveniences of today. This almost four acre setting is so quiet and peaceful that the only sounds early in the morning are the chortle of dozens of native bird species. Blueberries, blackberries and black raspberries for the picking. Flat space with room for mini-farm. Two original buildings remain plus workshop/storage added around 1925. Fenced front yard for kids or pets. Seeking that special buyer who can appreciate the historical aspects of this home while making it their own.
