Property Description
Step Back in Time in The Historic Rumbough House. Own a true piece of Greeneville's past with the Rumbough House, one of the community's most celebrated and architecturally significant residences. Built in the 1840s, this distinguished Federal-style home stands as a testament to a bygone era of craftsmanship, grace, and grandeur. From the moment you enter, the refined beauty of the period is evident. Original hardwood floors, elaborate trim work, and plaster walls speak to the enduring quality of 19th-century artisanship. The stately entry hall and sweeping staircase, adorned with ornate woodwork, reflect the elegance of a home once regarded among Greeneville's finest. Throughout, six hand-crafted fireplaces and soaring ceilings evoke the warmth and hospitality of early Southern life. The residence offers more than 3,100 square feet of finished living space, blending historic integrity with modern convenience. The home includes three spacious bedrooms, with the primary suite on the main level with the primary bath featuring a whirlpool tub and tile shower. Thoughtful updates ensure comfort without compromising authenticity—featuring a gas range, stainless steel appliances, spacious wood top island, updated lighting through the home, and an attached drive-in garage provides added practicality, seamlessly integrated into the home's historic footprint. The Rumbough House holds a proud place in Greeneville's story. Its halls have welcomed distinguished guests, including a President of the United States, and its lineage bears historic connections to George Washington himself. Outdoors, the property offers a tranquil retreat reminiscent of a Southern garden estate. Mature trees, flowering landscapes, and a brick courtyard provide a setting of quiet beauty. There is also a historic outbuilding—once used for service or carriage purposes—now presents endless possibilities as a guest cottage or artist's studio. Rich in heritage and grace, the Rumbough House is more than a residence—it is a living monument to Greeneville's past, lovingly preserved and thoughtfully adapted for the generations to come.
