Come home to comfort, peace, and solitude! East Tennessee mountain living is one of the most sought-after ways of life! Now is your chance to own just that! The pace of life here takes its time and lets us enjoy the things that matter most! From the sounds of songbirds to the quiet mountain breezes that whisper through the trees to vibrant sunsets and star-filled night skies, you will find all that is lost. If you fear this is too far out, think again! Just 5 minutes to the local convenience store, 16 miles to groceries or daily needs, 30 minutes to Cleveland, and 1 hour to Chattanooga Airport, basically makes this the perfect homeplace for anyone looking to spread their wings beyond the city confines! Now, the facts! Beautifully situated on 5 acres, you will find this 2-story beauty, 2-car garage, and large steel workshop on a concrete slab complete with power and a wood stove for heat. As you walk into the home, you're greeted with high-end coffered ceilings outlined with stained-glass sconces and recessed lighting, luxury wood plank floors, granite countertops, a hammered copper kitchen sink, a gas range for superior cooking, stainless appliances, handmade cabinetry throughout, a wood-burning stone fireplace, and glass sliding doors and windows that bring the outdoors in! Just down the hall, you will be amazed at the main-floor bedroom with its comfy sitting area and roomy walk-in closet. The main bathroom is fully equipped for relaxation via the jetted, soaking bathtub. Ceramic tile flooring and granite countertops adorn this perfect retreat! Head up the low-rise staircase and find a world of room beyond! Featuring a huge den or family room with a full bathroom, tub/shower combo, large storage closets, PLUS two other bonus rooms for some overnight guests or not. Head outside to the spacious, level yard where you have mature fruit trees, garden beds, and a chicken coop! Have you seen the prices of groceries? Just one more reason to call this home! Come & Stay!
