With its spacious rooms, soaring ceilings, original hardwood floors, and the charming remnants of the home's original fireplaces, this property is just waiting for someone to bring it back to life.

A shared laundry room is conveniently located on the enclosed back porch with access to the basement cellar.
Outside, enjoy the .41 acres with a beautiful fenced backyard perfect for gardening, entertaining, or relaxing beneath the trees. The detached three-car garage is an incredible bonus, offering abundant storage, workshop space, or room for hobbies, and features a newer roof.
The quaint town of Cowan is located at the foothills of Monteagle Mountain close to the University of the South and Monteagle and just 10 mins away from downtown Winchester with access to restaurants, retail and Tims Ford Lake for endless outdoor excursions.
If you've been searching for a home with historic charm, great bones, and the chance to create something truly special, this Cowan cottage is ready for its next chapter. Property is being sold AS IS.
