Extensively renovated 1923 home with historical charm and modern conveniences surrounded with
beautiful landscaping and gorgeous old trees, located 1 mile from South Holston Lake in Sullivan
County, Tennessee. The house was originally built for Cold Springs Presbyterian Church and was used as
their Manse for many years. John Mitchell, a local Building Contractor, and wife Gail, purchased the
home and 2 acres in the fall of 2013. The remodel began in 2014, with their daughter, Kelly Mitchell
(Architect) leading the design and planning of the project. The renovation was completed in June of
2015.
The house boasts a beautiful wrap around porch, great indoor/outdoor connectivity, extensive
landscaping, great natural lighting, two working gas fireplaces, and scenic views from every window.
One major aspect of the interior renovation included totally remodeling the kitchen and opening it up to
the dining room. A new sunroom/breakfast nook was built off the back of the kitchen to create one
large open concept living area. The sunroom has a panoramic view overlooking the Holsten Valley,
surrounding farms, and nearby flower garden. A new concrete and brick patio were also installed at the
rear of the house, easily accessible from the kitchen and sunroom. A new laundry, mudroom, and walkin Master closet were created by enclosing the existing rear porch.All the bathrooms (two full, one half)
were stripped to the studs and rebuilt anew to create modern amenities in a traditional home. Interior Renovations:New oak hardwood flooring in Entry Room, Living Room, Dining Room, Kitchen, Sunroom,
Hallway, Master Bedroom, Master Closet. Refinished second floor hardwood flooring in all
bedrooms and office. New tile in Laundry, Mudroom, Half Bath, Master Bath, and Upstairs full Bath.
• Original moldings that remain were preserved and new moldings were added to match the
existing in renovated areas.
