This is the kind of property buyers hope to find but rarely do. Custom-built in Boyd's Creek and impeccably maintained, this home sits on nearly 2 acres with minimal restrictions and offers the perfect blend of quality craftsmanship, comfort, and functionality. Every detail was carefully planned--from the spacious single-level layout and 36-inch-wide doorways throughout to the custom finishes and usable land that make East Tennessee living so appealing. Built in 2015 by respected local builder Doug Smith, this thoughtfully designed 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers 1,516 square feet of living space that feels much larger thanks to its open floor plan, 9-foot ceilings throughout, coffered ceilings in both the living room and primary bedroom, and oversized 5-foot windows that fill the home with natural light. Built on a concrete slab with no steps in or out of the home, the design provides easy, single-level living. The living room features custom built-ins and a fireplace, while the kitchen showcases custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, a center island, and abundant workspace for cooking and entertaining. Engineered hardwood flooring runs throughout the main living areas and bedrooms, with tile flooring in both bathrooms and the laundry room. The spacious primary suite includes a large walk-in closet with abundant shelving, double vanities, a private water closet, a linen closet, and an oversized tile and glass shower with dual shower heads. Both bathrooms feature 36-inch-high counters and custom cabinetry, while the laundry room also includes custom cabinetry and a utility sink. Additional storage can be found throughout the home, including two hallway linen closets. Built for both comfort and efficiency, the home's exterior walls were spray-foam insulated during construction, helping improve energy performance year-round. An attic with additional storage provides even more space for seasonal items and belongings. The home has also been meticulously maintained and has been pet-free and smoke-free. Outside, you'll appreciate the covered front porch, covered rear patio, concrete driveway, mature landscaping with river rock accents, RV pad with 30 amp electrical hookup, and a 10x16 storage building with double lofts. Set on nearly 2 acres, there's plenty of room for gardening, hobbies, animals, recreational vehicles, or simply enjoying the peaceful country setting. While the setting feels miles away from the hustle and bustle, you'll enjoy the convenience of being just a short drive from Knoxville, Sevierville, Maryville, Pigeon Forge, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, shopping, dining, medical facilities, and everyday necessities. It's a rare opportunity to enjoy the privacy and freedom of country living without sacrificing convenience.
