Rare opportunity to buy a house in beautiful historic Norris for under $120k! This cozy two bedroom cottage is perfect for a buyer to make their own or for an investor. Large half acre lot backs up to a farm. Public park/playground almost directly across the street. The layout is an amazing use of 600 square feet with two good sized bedrooms with closets, sizable living room, tight but functional kitchen and bathroom, and even a linen closet! Seller was in process of renovating the kitchen and bath when they were transferred so these are incomplete. Norris is a ''hidden gem'' in East TN with it's European Garden Community design, parks, common areas, and sidewalks all throughout town, neighboring 2200 acre watershed forest with over 30 miles of multi-use trails, world class fishing on Norris Lake and the Clinch River, all within 25 minutes of downtown Knoxville.
