The professionally designed landscape includes an irrigation system that keeps the grounds stunning year-round. Step into the charming living room featuring a gas log fireplace and natural light throughout. Pass through the dedicated dining room into a beautifully updated kitchen with plenty of storage and countertop space!

The basement also has its own exterior access and a full bathroom —ideal for guests or short term rental income! Step out onto the private covered back deck overlooking your property and you will feel like you are somewhere tucked in the mountains, not just minutes away from Downtown Knoxville or Holston Hills Country Club!
