A rare opportunity to own a piece of Appalachian history. Dating back to approximately 1818, the historic Martin House is full of early American character, remarkable craftsmanship, and timeless charm. Built by John Martin, a tailor in the early Boatyard community, this distinctive residence is located in Kingsport's historic Boatyard District and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Situated along the Kingsport Greenbelt pathway, once part of the historic stagecoach route, the property offers picturesque views of the Holston River and a connection to the area's early Appalachian settlement history, when flatboats carried settlers, salt and other goods along the river. The home's historic character is showcased through its beautiful hardwood floors, two stone fireplaces, an impressive 32-foot limestone chimney, and a foundation constructed of hand-cut stone, reflecting the remarkable craftsmanship of the era. A charming double porch offers inviting spaces to relax and enjoy the river views. The home offers one bedroom, two full bathrooms, and a charming attic loft that provides additional flexible space. Thoughtfully renovated in 2011-2012, the home received updated plumbing, electrical systems, windows, insulation, central heating and air, cabinetry, appliances, and bathroom and lighting fixtures. Recent improvements include a new roof and new water heater in 2026. Blending historic charm with modern convenience, the property features a commercial-grade Ubiquiti home network complete with integrated security cameras and smart door access. Two Samsung Frame televisions are also included, one on the main floor and one on the second floor. The farmhouse-style kitchen features Mexican copper sinks, granite countertops, hickory cabinetry, a GE Cafe gas range with electric oven, and a convenient pot filler. Whether enjoyed as a full-time residence or explored for potential guest accommodations, the Martin House offers a unique opportunity to own a distinctive piece of Tennessee's early history.
