COMMERCIAL BUILDING

When we purchased in 1999, this building was a small concrete block lower level that ended to the right of the current door with a rough sawmill wood upstairs level.  The lower level was a storage area only. The upstairs was used to restore antique furniture. The entire building had only a 220watt wall heater and two single light bulb ceiling fixtures. The front section of the building was an open porch with the staircase from one level to the other on the outside of the building.

This building was completely stripped and renovated in 1999. All new electrical wiring, plumbing, water connections to the private well, single bathroom, water heater, TVA approved insulation in walls, floors, ceiling and attic and Trane dual zone heat pump for central heat and air was added.
The front of the building was added enclosing the staircase inside the building. The rest of the rough Poplar sawmill wood that was removed from the upper level was hand planed and laid as hardwood flooring both upstairs and down.
Walls were finished with drywall, slatboard and wainscotting.
A back addition to the building was constructed in 2007, adding an additional 240 square feet to the upper level. The 10'x10' covered and screened-in porch was added in 2009 (painting obviously needs to be finished).
A 3 Bedroom approved septic tank system and a single 2 piece bathroom was installed complete with exterior septic line cleanouts and interior accessibility to water lines to add a second bathroom on the lower level if desired.
The roof is of metal and any of the new additions have a new metal roof on those areas.

HOUSE

The house was originally built in 1960 as a two bedroom 1056 square foot house with a single carport and outside storage room. A 1970's renovation created a single car garage and added the storage room to the interior use of the house creating a study or office. Soon after, the garage was closed in as an exterior laundry room using the driveway asphalt as the floor and having a second locking door into the house inside this facility.

After our purchase in 1999, the home was gutted and completely renovated. All exterior parts of the house were closed in as interior space and updated.
The exterior garage/laundry room was finished out with insulated walls and flooring insulated and raised to match the floor level of the main house. The space was divided into a large pantry and a laundry room large enough to hold washer, dryer, the largest chest freezer ever made and space for a counter top and cupboards. Water lines were installed under the floor for future sink installation in this area and an access panel to the water lines was installed in the floor.

All electrical was updated with new wiring in half the house and new electrical panel box.
White track lighting was installed in the pantry, laundry room and kitchen. New ceiling fans with lighting units were installed in the den/office and across the newly added front sun room.

The corner floor to ceiling brick fireplace has a top of the line cast iron heatilator fireplace insert which was the only source of heat in the home at the time of purchase. A new dual motor Trane heat pump was installed along with new attic ducting for central heat and air. All crawl space and attic insulation was increased to meet TVA approved energy efficient standards.

Each room was sanded down, removing five layers of overlapping wallpaper and the spackle texture on many of the ceilings was removed. Some drywall was replaced where necessary.

The original oak hardwood floors were sanded and refinished throughout the entire house.

The front of the home had an 8'x30' covered concrete porch. This area was framed and closed in to add an additional 240 square feet of interior space. New windows, patio and cut glass doors were added and Italian Ceramic Tile installed on the floors.
Currently, the thirteen foot original front window and french doors separate the livingroom from the sun room addition, but, the intention was to remove the windows and doors and open the space to a large open concept plan.
The front sun room is currently incomplete. It still needs to have the windows trimmed out and a new finished ceiling installed. Before the ceiling is installed, however, a minor repair to the fireplace chimney needs to be done to prevent a water leak which occasionally dripped onto the front porch. (Either the flashing needs attention or the concrete chimney cap needs a repair.)
Patio doors lead from the sunroom to an outdoor deck which holds a Coleman 4 person hot tub.

The single bathroom is currently incomplete. The sink and art deco bathtub need refinishing or replacement. As well, the shower/bathtub surround walls need to be replaced as they are currently plastic panels which were not installed properly.

View the survey maps above to see where the top of the property meets a County Road for top access to the property. The existing driveway could be extended up through the property depending upon the land use and building restrictions, if any.

Rise every morning to face the eastern view (on the left) or spend a lazy evening relaxing on the stone patio looking out at the southern exposure of Cove Mountain.
