Step into this well-appointed two-story contemporary home in the heart of Fountain City, adjacent to the beautiful walking trails and playground of Adair Park. The upper level features a spacious master bedroom, with a generously sized walk-in closet and a en-suite bath with double sinks. Downstairs, the main living space welcomes you with open living/dining area, kitchen, a convenient half bath, and a bright, adaptable sunroom that overlooks a private, wood-backed yard. Outdoor amenities include storage shed (with electric) and a fenced portion of the backyard for added privacy and ease. Well-maintained updates provide real peace of mind: a metal roof (2007) with a lifetime warranty, HVAC replaced in 2011, bamboo-style laminate flooring throughout the main level, fresh paint (2022), new awning (2025), and installed gutter guards. The 0.25-acre lot is wooded and irregularly shaped, offering a serene setting yet situated just minutes from a Kroger and Food City, with easy access to schools, the interstate, and all of Fountain City's conveniences. This is an ideal place for someone seeking a ready-to-go home that blends comfort, style, and location.
