Description

Rarest of rare opportunities -- mountain top hideaway across the street from the Sewanee Domain! Fondly named ''Laughing Place'' by its previous beloved owner, this quintessential Sewanee home has been featured in ''Birmingham Home and Garden''. Once a small stone cottage, it has been added onto several times and transformed into a mountaintop retreat with spectacular views of one mountain range after another. The main house features a great room, library, study, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen,...Rarest of rare opportunities -- mountain top hideaway across the street from the Sewanee Domain! Fondly named ''Laughing Place'' by its previous beloved owner, this quintessential Sewanee home has been featured in ''Birmingham Home and Garden''. Once a small stone cottage, it has been added onto several times and transformed into a mountaintop retreat with spectacular views of one mountain range after another. The main house features a great room, library, study, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, dining room and an enclosed ''reading'' porch, deck and outdoor shower off the master suite. A dominant feature of the home is a 600+ sq ft screened-in porch with unrivaled views of the mountains. Discover other porches, and numerous French doors around the home -- all designed to take advantage of the views. There is a separate one-bedroom apartment above the garage, and a charming, enclosed breezeway leads from the garage to the kitchen of the main house. This lovely home sits on 22 acres of coveted mountain top property across the street from the Domain of the University of the South -- the perfect opportunity to be ''almost'' on the Domain without the restrictions! This would make a wonderful primary or second home, investment for short-term rentals, and/or rent out the garage apartment short or long term. As well as being close to the University of the South, there are fun shops and restaurants in the area (including the famous Highpoint Restaurant) .... or you can enjoy a round of golf and cocktails at the grand Sewanee Inn. Local attractions include the Sewanee Natural Bridge, Lost Cove Cave, the Mountain Goat trail, South Cumberland State Park and Monteagle Falls -- to name a few. You can be in Chattanooga in 60 minutes or Nashville under 90 minutes. Some exterior maintenance and updating is required -- the home is priced to reflect this. Great investment potential as it could easily keep company with the $million+ homes in the area.
