A rare convergence of history, craftsmanship, and modern luxury, this extraordinary residence is anchored by an original 1880'S WORMY CHESTNUT TIMBER-FRAME GERMAN BANK BARN, carefully relocated from Gettysburg and meticulously rebuilt to honor its heritage while delivering a truly elevated living experience.
Set on approximately 5.35 ACRES IN THE HEART OF JOHNSON CITY, the property offers remarkable privacy without sacrificing central convenience. The exterior's pine siding and advanced SIP panel construction provide exceptional insulation, while the interior showcases wormy chestnut beams, oak studs, and pine walls, creating a warm, authentic architectural presence throughout.
Soaring 40-foot ceilings, expansive windows, and exposed beams define the main living spaces, flooding the home with natural light. Polished concrete floors on the main level—finished with white grout and sealant—contrast beautifully with the pine flooring on the second level, reinforcing the home's balance of rustic character and refined design.
The heart of the home is a SHOW-STOPPING, CHEF-CALIBER KITCHEN, outfitted with premium European and custom finishes: Snaidero cabinetry, Kesseboehner inserts, Woodmode stainless steel island cabinets, reclaimed bowling alley countertops, and a White Haus farmhouse sink. A classic AGA range with gas companion anchors the space, complemented by Sub-Zero refrigeration, Marvel refrigerator drawers and wine refrigerator, and a KitchenAid dishwasher. Custom backsplash, hood, and chandelier elevate the kitchen to a functional work of art, while an open pantry and computer nook, along with a cozy reading nook beneath the staircase, add thoughtful livability.
Entertaining flows seamlessly into the dining room—featuring exposed beams, a built-in China cabinet, and access to the covered rear patio—and into the dramatic great room, where extensive windows, exposed beams, a gas-log woodstove, and access to a storage loft create an inviting yet grand atmosphere.
The MAIN-LEVEL PRIMARY SUITE is a private retreat unto itself, offering a gas-log/woodstove fireplace, a dramatic roll-up window/door, and a luxurious en-suite bath with dual vanities, soaking tub, oversized walk-in shower, and a two-story walk-in closet with custom shelving.
Designed for both relaxation and entertainment, the family room features a 17-foot home theater screen, a custom bar highlighted by a restored 1948 Chrysler bar side, repurposed wine barrel bases, under-counter refrigeration, and a gas-log woodstove—perfect for hosting unforgettable gatherings.
Two additional loft spaces overlook the main living areas, offering sitting rooms or bonus spaces with wrought-iron railings and pine flooring. The second level bedrooms feature vaulted, beamed ceilings and Jack-and-Jill baths, continuing the home's cohesive architectural story.
The laundry and mudroom are equally impressive, with a three-foot industrial sink, extensive counter space, full-size refrigerator and freezer, ample storage, and an additional bathroom. A converted 1971 brick ranch now serves as a 44-foot-deep, two-car garage/workshop, complete with reclaimed bowling alley workbench, dual insulated glass garage doors, hospital-grade sink, fireplace with electric insert, and HVAC infrastructure in place.
With five bedrooms, four full baths, two half baths and an abundance of custom-built elements throughout, this property delivers a one-of-a-kind living experience—where historic authenticity meets intentional, high-end design. This is not simply a home. It is a legacy property—crafted, curated, and unlike anything else in the region. Conveniently situated near Marketplace Boulevard, the Knob Creek Road project is set to greatly enhance traffic flow throughout the area while introducing new amenities.
Great location, just minutes from shopping, dining, schools, I-26, Johnson City Med Center, Med-Tech Corridor, ETSU and VA hospital; close to downtown Historic Jonesborough. 2752 Knob Creek Rd - Johnson City, TN 37604
