421 Nola Drive

Some houses have character. This one has a story.

At the heart of 421 Nola Drive is an authentic 1800s log cabin, preserved through generations and later expanded into a 2,068-square-foot home tucked beneath mature trees on 1.17 acres in Seymour.

Step inside the original cabin and you can still see and feel its history: hand-hewn log walls, wide-plank wood floors, exposed beams, chinking and stone fireplaces create rooms that simply cannot be recreated in a new build. Even the subtle irregularities of the original structure are reminders that this home has been standing for well over a century.

Later additions provide the everyday space today's buyer needs without erasing what makes the property special. The home offers 1,568 square feet on the main level plus approximately 500 square feet upstairs, a spacious kitchen, generous living areas, a light-filled sunroom surrounded by windows, screened porch and plenty of room to make the home your own.

Outside, the setting may be just as memorable. More than an acre of mature woods surrounds the home, creating a private, almost storybook setting while still being in Seymour. A detached two-car garage provides approximately 624 additional square feet for vehicles, storage, a workshop or hobbies.

This is not a cookie-cutter house, and it was never meant to be. It is a genuine piece of East Tennessee history waiting for someone who sees the beauty in original craftsmanship, old wood, stone fireplaces and a home with a past.

Offered as-is at $279,000 with the Seller offering $12,000 towards buyer's closing costs, buy downs, title expenses, or any other costs associated with the buyer's loan with an acceptable offer.

If you have ever dreamed of owning an authentic Tennessee log cabin without giving up the space of a full-size home, come walk through this one. Pictures can show the logs and the fireplaces. They cannot show you what more than a century of history feels like.
