Welcome home and own a piece of history in Strawberry Plains! This majestic farmhouse was originally owned by the Carter family and they gave the land for the Carter Schools and the Pascal Carter park. The home offers plenty of space for family living and entertaining with 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, beautiful hardwood floors that have stood the test of time, updated light and bright kitchen, living room with fireplace/wood burning stove, extra-large family room, a flex space that works beautifully as an office or library with fireplace, formal dining room with 3rd fireplace, covered deck with charming and relaxing view and detached two car garage. For history lovers, architectural afficionados and entrepreneurs this home has exciting potential! Two outbuildings in addition to the circa 1889 main home with one building 75% converted into a 2 BR/1bath living space that would make an excellent income producing rental or Airbnb-it just awaits your finishing touches. The property's zoning was researched in 2024 and found to be zoned as a ''rural retreat'' (buyer should verify with the county). Imagine the main house as a beautiful backdrop for an outdoor wedding - with room to add a ''party barn'' by the woods for rustic receptions and corporate events! For those searching for their dream ''mini farm'' not too far from all that Knoxville has to offer, look no further! Old walnut trees, hydrangeas, maples, magnolias and beauty abound on the almost 12 acres offering a peaceful escape from the city while still being close to everything!
