Peace, Privacy, and Plenty of Room to Grow. Some homes are simply a place to live, and then there are homes that make you exhale the moment you turn into the drive. Set on a beautiful, level 0.72-acre lot in a highly sought-after school district, 116 Ben Albert Road offers the rare combination of space, seclusion, and thoughtful updates. Mature trees wrap the property on three sides, creating a private, peaceful setting in the heart of Middle Tennessee that feels like your own retreat. A welcoming front porch invites you in, and inside, this bright 4-bedroom, 3-bath home has been refreshed from top to bottom. Fresh paint throughout lets natural light take center stage, and newly sanded and refinished hardwood floors add a rich, lasting warmth. A cozy gas fireplace anchors the living space, ready at the flip of a switch for quiet evenings and gatherings alike. Overhead, a brand-new roof brings true peace of mind, so the biggest projects are already done. Downstairs, the upgraded finished basement is full of possibility. With its own private entrance, a full bathroom, a closet, and a dedicated laundry room, it adapts easily to guests, extended family, a home office, or a quiet retreat of your own. Upstairs, an additional 1,300 square feet of expansion space is a blank canvas, ready to become more bedrooms, a media room, a studio, or whatever your household needs next. Step out onto the back deck and take in the privacy of the level, tree-lined yard, ideal for morning coffee, summer cookouts, and room to play. The oversized rear garage offers generous space for vehicles, tools, and weekend projects, and it also houses a storm shelter that adds real security when the weather turns. Generously sized, beautifully refreshed, and wonderfully private, this is a home that fits your life today and has space for whatever comes next. Come see it for yourself and welcome home to 116 Ben Albert Road, Cottontown, Tennessee.
