It Takes a Special Person to Appreciate the Craftsmanship that went into Building this 16 room Masterpiece. The historical home was designed by Allen Dryden, Sr., who designed many of Kingsport's Founding Father's homes. This home was constructed in 1929 for Dr. E. W. Tipton, a well-known physician who was the 6th mayor of Kingsport. The current owners are only the 4th family to call 1204 Watauga Street home. Some of the original features have been updated to keep pace with modern life while maintaining the home's original charm.

The main level begins in an elegant entrance foyer that leads into the spacious formal living and dining rooms, remodeled kitchen, breakfast area, den, sunroom, laundry room and full bath. The seven bedrooms, 4.5 baths and office highlight the second & third levels. Old world elegance partners with modern conveniences of double hung windows, 4 HVAC zoned systems, 400 amp service, plantation shutters, custom draperies and Saltillo tile floors.
