Exceptionally restored, this solid limestone residence was built in 1801 â only 25 years after the United States was declared! It retains its original architectural integrity while also containing all the modern upgrades. The National Register of Historic Places lists it as one of the few surviving Federal-style houses built on the Tennessee frontier. Known as the Martin Kitzmiller House at Boones Ridge, only a few families have owned it in its 217-year history! *** A skilled stonemason from Pennsylvania constructed the 3Ã,½ story house with solid limestone walls up to 2-feet thick, pegged timber construction, and mortise-and-tenon joinery throughout. *** Historic interior details include exposed timber beams, hand-planed tongue-and-groove ceilings, hand-forged door hardware, antique ripple glass, original window frames, plaster walls, original staircase, crown and chair rail molding, four hand-planed fireplace mantels, and hand-planed plank floors. ** The entrance level includes a large parlor with built-ins, full bath, and bedroom/study. ** The rear entrance level houses the kitchen and large keeping room, dominated by the massive original cooking fireplace. *** Two bedrooms and a full bath comprise the third level, and the fourth level contains built-in chests of drawers and closets. *** All levels have modern zoned heat and air and electrical service. The updates include a modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances, 2Ã,½ modern baths, and a large deck overlooking the private wooded yard. *** The manicured 2-acre property features a spring, landscaping, lots of decking and patio space, and a circular driveway. *** A separate 480 sq ft semi-finished outbuilding has heat and air. Currently used as a gym/game/workshop space, it has many possible uses such as professional office, selected retail, private studio, or home-school room. *** See the attachments for a full description of the propertyâs history and features.
