1083 Lyness Ave, Signal Mountain, TN 37377

Decades before any town was called Walden, the community halfway between the Conner Toll House and the top of the W Road was known as Hightop as it is the crest of Waldens Ridge between Signal Point and the North Chick watershed. The heart of Hightop and the start of your family's new adventures is at 1083 Lyness Avenue. The 102 year old home is rambly and in fact is not fully renovated allowing y'all to finish off the home's abundant charm and character in your own style. Or satisfy multiple styles as this house can take anything you throw at it and wear it well. But you won't move for the indoors; 2 East facing patios (one covered & one open) invite you to welcome the morning Sun watching the property. The 3 acres have a fenced pasture, a connecting run and then fencing around the house allowing for roaming animals to safely use 90% of the acreage. A patio and stout fire ring with awning poles has hosted many a fine evening session. There are multiple outdoor storage rooms and a shed. Back inside, the entry opens into a large living room with a log burning firebox that can heat most of the house in the event of an outage. Speaking of, the hvac & ac mini-split for the upstairs are 2 years old and most windows are 4 years old. The dining room was the next room slated for a re-do: replacing three large windows with a pair of french doors onto the East deck. Sellers will provide detailed architectural drawings of that & further home renovation that includes a 3rd bathroom and other design/flow upgrades that will set the home up for another century of love and living. The main bedroom is off a hallway along the deck. This suite HAS been re-done and holds a warm, rustic lushness in which to relax after a day of affirming labor around the property. The kitchen, facing South for all day light, is the focal room for family & friends. The proportions are perfect for stools, standing, buffet lines, solo cooking or mass baking. The original wood burning stove is the hearth of the cocina but is not refurbished, yet :). The laundry and a cubby are next to the kitchen on the way to a current study and the stairs to the upstairs bedrooms, bathroom and common space. Neither words nor pictures will suffice to describe it, but if these morsels are intriguing, you should treat yourself to a showing to discover if this mini-farm is right for your next chapter.
