Single Family Residence In Johnson City

MID-CENTURY MODERN ESTATE | 1.7+ ACRES | THE GUMP | MULTIGENERATIONAL LIVING

Set on an extraordinary estate-sized lot of more than 1.7 acres in Johnson City’s beloved Gump Addition, this custom Mid-Century Modern residence offers a rare combination of architectural character, privacy, mountain views and true multigenerational living--all in the heart of Johnson City.

Built in 1963, the home reflects an era when residential architecture embraced dramatic proportions, strong horizontal lines, walls of glass and an intentional connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. From the oversized foyer, the home immediately makes a statement with a striking custom floating spiral staircase leading to a glass-walled upper loggia, creating one of the residence’s most memorable architectural features.

Expansive living and entertaining spaces continue throughout the main level, including a substantial living room, formal dining room, and an updated kitchen anchored by an iconic AGA range--a timeless statement piece prized for both its distinctive design and culinary performance. An impressive den/library with custom built-ins, hardwood and tile flooring, generous room dimensions, and abundant natural light further reinforce the home’s distinctive character.

Designed with multigenerational living in mind, the finished lower level functions as an additional living environment within the home. A second full kitchen, additional bedrooms, bath accommodations, recreation and living spaces provide the separation and flexibility today’s families increasingly seek. Whether used for aging parents, adult children, extended family, long-term guests or a private secondary living area, the layout allows multiple generations to live together while maintaining their own space and independence.

Positioned on a rare 1.7+ acre estate lot, the home enjoys mature surroundings, generous parking, privacy and views toward Buffalo Mountain--an exceptional amount of property for an established neighborhood this close to downtown Johnson City. There is room to entertain, garden, create additional outdoor living areas or simply enjoy the peaceful setting.

The neighborhood itself has a story. The Gump, formally known as Hillrise Park, traces its roots to the grounds associated with the original Johnson City Country Club. Developer Harry D. Gump later transformed the property into what became one of the Tri-Cities’ earliest thoughtfully landscaped residential neighborhoods. Platted in 1927, generations of development created the distinctive mix of architecture, mature trees and substantial homes that continues to define the neighborhood today.

From 801 Cloudland, downtown Johnson City, ETSU, Johnson City Medical Center, Franklin Woods Community Hospital, the VA Medical Center, shopping and dining are all within convenient reach--an especially compelling location for healthcare professionals, university faculty, relocating executives and families who want space without sacrificing access to the city.

For those considering a move to East Tennessee, there is another significant advantage: Tennessee has no state individual income tax.
