Property Description
This enchanting craftsman cottage style home is a rare and treasured piece of Jefferson City history, built in 1938 by Earl (who founded Fields Pharmacy - the first pharmacy in Jefferson County) and Mary Elizabeth Fields and remaining in single family ownership ever since. Featuring 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, the home is situated on a level 0.51+/- acre lot within a short walking distance to Carson Newman University, offering a large main level living space plus a basement with some finished areas -- all wrapped in a charming brick exterior with vinyl siding accents that speaks to the craftsmanship and character of its era. Brimming with original character and timeless architectural detail, this beloved home is ready for its next owner to put their personal touch on it and renovate it to their own taste and vision -- creating something truly extraordinary while honoring the history and craftsmanship that make it so special.
This home abounds in period charm and original detail at every turn, including: parquet wood floors in the entry foyer, mudroom, living room, and dining room; living room fireplace with a painted solid bronze mantle sourced from an architectural company in Knoxville during the home's original construction -- a truly one-of-a-kind historical feature, built-in shelves in the living room, elegant 15-light French doors between the living room and dining room, 10-light French doors from the mudroom leading to the guest bedroom, and large rear sunroom with skylight.
A welcoming entrance foyer with coat closet and parquet wood floors sets the tone for this remarkable home. The living room is an absolute showpiece, featuring the stunning original bronze mantle fireplace and built-in shelves, flowing graciously through 15-light French doors into the formal dining room. Additional main level features include a breakfast room conveniently situated between the dining room and kitchen, kitchen, mudroom off of the living room with 10-light French doors leading to a guest bedroom, guest bedroom, master bedroom with access to a full bathroom featuring a walk-in shower -- bathroom is also accessible from the hallway, additional guest bathroom, third bedroom with access to the laundry room/office/butler pantry, and large rear sunroom with skylight and wall unit heat & air -- a wonderful space for relaxing and enjoying the natural surroundings.
The large basement offers tremendous additional space and flexibility, featuring access from the inside and the lower garage door, large open storage area, and finished area with a living room, kitchenette, office with closet, full bathroom, and bedroom - bringing the total to 4 bedrooms across the home.
Homes of this historical significance, original craftsmanship, and single-family ownership history are extraordinarily rare -- particularly in a setting as charming and convenient as a short walk from Carson Newman University in Jefferson City. Whether you are a preservation enthusiast, a lover of period architecture and original detail, or simply someone seeking a home with genuine soul and an irreplaceable sense of history, this beloved 1938 craftsman cottage offering 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms is a once-in-a-generation opportunity not to be missed.
