Public Remarks: The homestead you've been dreaming of! Nestled on approximately 3.6 beautiful acres on a quiet dead-end road, this spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath tri-level home offers the perfect combination of privacy, functionality, and country living. Inside, you'll find fresh paint and new luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout along with a new dishwasher. At the heart of the home is an oversized kitchen with an abundance of space, making it perfect for a growing family, entertaining, or simply gathering together for everyday meals. The welcoming living room features a beautiful wood ceiling and stone gas fireplace, while the spacious lower-level family room offers a wood-burning stove--perfect for cozy East Tennessee evenings. Three bedrooms are located on the second level, with the fourth bedroom on the lower level, providing plenty of flexibility for guests, a home office, or additional living space. Outside is where this property really shines! A 24x24 detached garage provides plenty of space for vehicles, equipment, hobbies, or a workshop, while the impressive 28x42 loft barn offers even more possibilities for animals, equipment, feed, or storage. Both outbuildings feature loft areas for additional storage. With approximately 3.6 acres, there's plenty of room to create the mini farm or homestead you've been dreaming about. You'll also find fruit tree, a generous garden area with access to water for irrigation**, an **RV hookup**, and a five-person hot tub for relaxing at the end of the day. The property is serviced by city water, but also has a well that could be hooked up again, along with a private septic system, adding to its country-living appeal. Whether you're dreaming of gardening, raising animals, creating a hobby farm, or simply wanting more space and privacy, this property offers an incredible opportunity to make that lifestyle your own. A 3D virtual tour and floor plans are available, giving you the opportunity to explore the layout before scheduling your private showing.
