Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2005
I am sixty-nine years old with a passion for old buildings and antiques including classic cars. I have bought and restored several homes in the last ten years in South Carolina, North Carolina, and Tennessee. This one is by far my favorite. I reside in South Carolina where we are currently restoring a Civil War era plantation house. Parents of three sons and one daughter, all of which are serving the Lord.
Why the Owner Chose Elizabethton
My love for the mountains.
The Unique Benefits of this Historic House
Very physically, mentally, and spiritually therapeutic. Especially in a day of high stress, hustle and bustle of daily living, which is why we chose not to have television and phones.
