Property Description

Historic Tree Streets Gem with Panoramic City and Mountain Views Perched on one of the highest points in Johnson City's beloved Tree Streets neighborhood, this historic 1917 brick farmhouse captures both city and mountain views rarely found anywhere in town. At 1,793 feet elevation, you can see across the Johnson City valley to Science Hill and Freedom Hall. From the northeast-facing windows, take in Buffalo Mountain and the North Carolina ranges, while the southwest side reveals sweeping views of the city below. This home sits on a rare one-acre lot within the city limits, offering privacy, mature landscaping, and abundant natural beauty. The grounds feature deep garden beds, flowering trees, and established fruit plantings including blueberry, elderberry, blackberry, grape, and peach. Recent additions include tulip poplars, Virginia pine, redbud, and maple trees, creating a park-like setting. Inside, you'll find the timeless beauty of original heart of pine hardwood floors from 1917 throughout the main level and much of the second floor, complemented by new hardwoods added during the upstairs remodel. The home offers approximately 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, with spacious living areas full of natural light, a gas fireplace added in 2022, and a large formal dining room. A second private staircase leads to the primary suite featuring his and her closets and a private bath. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with tile flooring and connects to a large laundry and utility area with abundant storage. Extensive updates bring comfort and reliability to this classic home, including: New roof (2022) Dual HVAC systems (top floor 2022, main floor 2024) Whole-house water filter, softener, and 9-stage reverse osmosis drinking system (2022) New water heater (2023) plus an additional tankless water heater option Entire electrical system redone (2020) with new panels in house and detached garage Gas fireplace, remodeled second floor, new plumbing access panel, and new cell blinds (2025) The front porch, restored with antique barn wood in 2021, is perfect for morning coffee while watching the sunrise over the mountains. A new concrete patio, fenced backyard, and mature landscaping provide beautiful outdoor living spaces for entertaining or relaxing in privacy. Additional property highlights include a solid double-brick construction, ensuring durability and safety, and an original brick garage near the street that is grandfathered in and can be remodeled into a studio apartment, in-law suite, or workshop with existing electrical service. A 3,000-square-foot garage and storage building with electric and a deep foundation provides exceptional space for heavy equipment, RV storage, or creative projects. Located within walking distance to ETSU and downtown Johnson City, you can stroll to local favorites like Yee-Haw Brewing and Founders Park, or enjoy quick access to the Tweetsie Trail. Johnson City Fire Station No. 2 is less than a quarter mile away, helping to lower home insurance costs. With no HOA and R2 zoning that allows for general farming, this property offers incredible flexibility.
