Description

East Tennessee just 15 minutes from downtown Knoxville! This all-brick ranch sits on 1.2 private acres in the beautiful French Broad River community of Riverdale. The property includes an additional lot with its own parcel ID and separate driveway/road frontage, creating a range of future possibilitieswhether you're thinking of building, expanding, or simply enjoying the extra space. The home has been thoughtfully updated with modern efficiency in mind. Solar panels work in tandem with KUB to keep monthly electricity bills low, and a whole-house generator powered by a leased propane tank ensures peace of mind during outages. Propane also fuels the dryer, furnace, and water heater. Inside, you'll find granite countertops in the kitchen, a recently renovated upstairs bathroom, and durable vinyl windows throughout. A full basement includes a second bathroom and offers plenty of potential for storage, creative workspace, or even a future Airbnb setup, along with a two-car garage. Outside, the home continues to shine with a detached garage currently used as a woodworking shop, complete with concrete floors and electricity. There's also a second storage building, a carport, and a custom-built chicken coop with an automatic door on a timer. The fenced yard and large, productive garden plot have supported years of abundant harvests, yielding hundreds of pounds of produce annually for the last three years. Several important updates have been made in recent years. The upstairs bathroom was fully renovated in 2021 with a new vanity, toilet, tub, subway tile, floor tile, and fresh paint. Plumbing was updated as well, replacing the old cast iron with PVC. A new septic drain field was installed in 2019, and a reverse osmosis water filter was added in the kitchen for clean, filtered water. The basement bathroom was enclosed and updated, and a washer purchased in 2017 remains with the home. Other improvements include two new trees on either side of the house, a fence around the side yard, and redirecting gutters in both the front and back to better manage rainwater. The interior was recently painted in 2022 throughout, and new hinges and door handles were installed on all interior doors in 2021. The woodworking shop and basement floors have also been painted, and both outbuildings were pressure washed in March 2022. Additional storage has been added with new shelving in the upstairs closet and a newly built closet in the basement. In January 2022, 200 gallons of propane were added, and the pressure regulator on the tank was replaced. With features like a whole-house generator, solar panel integration, and flexible land use options, this home offers a rare combination of rural charm, modern convenience, and sustainabilityall within easy reach of Knoxville.
