5220 Asher Ln Ooltewah, TN 37363

Built-in 1940 as the original Asher William family farmhouse, this home has been lovingly restored and named after Franklin Delano Roosevelt's summer home ''Campobello.'' FDR called it his ''beloved island,'' and this half-acre vintage home, in a Collegedale cul-de-sac, is just that... a ''beloved island'' of retreat and rest.



The owner has run a landscaping business for 34 years, so you can imagine the quality of the yard. An open-air, 3 bay garage/party barn and a treehouse overlook a botanical paradise of hydrangea, snowball bushes (transplanted from Monticello), and an assortment of annual and perennial flowers with specialty trees. Swing in your hammock and listen to the songs of bullfrogs and cicadas as the fireflies dance in the distance. The potential for this home is enormous. Buy this home to live in, run as an Airbnb, or convert into a special event venue. Imagine hosting parties and special events at this 'beloved island.'

This house boasts original oak floors, cedar wainscot, redwood trim, spruce and cedar stripped floor, and spruce paneling. Park your Harley or your boat and jet skis in the newly built 3 stall party barn/garage. Swing in your hammock and listen to the songs of bullfrogs and cicadas as the fireflies dance in the distance. Above the party barn is a 10'x20' walk-in storage room.

The galley kitchen was remodeled in 2018 with spacious granite countertops and new hickory kitchen cabinets. The hardwood kitchen floor is alternating spruce & cedarwood.

The vintage antique cast iron clawfoot tub is older than the house and adds authenticity to this mid-century Cape Cod home. It was made on March 30, 1922, by Standard Sanitary Manufacturing in Louisville KY., is 4.5' by 26" and valued at over $1800.

Not Remaining with Property: Hanging party lights in front of the house and the 3 stall barn/garage. All appliances go, including washer & dryer, refrigerator, range/double oven, wind chimes on front magnolia tree.
