Built in 1918, this charming cottage in Cowan is full of character, history, and opportunity. With its spacious rooms, soaring ceilings, original hardwood floors, and the charming remnants of the home's original fireplaces, this property is just waiting for someone to bring it back to life. While it could use some love and updates, the bones are solid, and the timeless architectural details make it well worth the effort.
Whether you're a first-time buyer looking to build equity or an investor searching for your next renovation project, this home offers endless potential. The flexible floor plan was previously used as a duplex, featuring separate upstairs and downstairs living quarters with two electrical meters already in place. The main level offers one bedroom, one bath, a spacious kitchen, an oversized living and dining area, and a wonderful sun porch. Upstairs you'll find two additional bedrooms, a full bath, a cozy kitchen, and living area with private access from the back porch. A shared laundry room is conveniently located on the enclosed back porch with access to the basement cellar.
Outside, enjoy the .41 acres with a beautiful fenced backyard perfect for gardening, entertaining, or relaxing beneath the trees. The detached three-car garage is an incredible bonus, offering abundant storage, workshop space, or room for hobbies, and features a newer roof.
The quaint town of Cowan is located at the foothills of Monteagle Mountain close to the University of the South and Monteagle and just 10 mins away from downtown Winchester with access to restaurants, retail and Tims Ford Lake for endless outdoor excursions.
If you've been searching for a home with historic charm, great bones, and the chance to create something truly special, this Cowan cottage is ready for its next chapter. Property is being sold AS IS.
