Some homes you tour. This one you settle into. It starts on the front porch, where the view is an open green field instead of the neighbor's siding, a rare piece of breathing room this close to downtown Knoxville. Morning coffee happens right here. Push the front door open and warm hardwood stretches out ahead of you, lit up by two wide windows. The living room wears a reclaimed wood accent wall, built board by board in mismatched grains and weathered whites, the kind of wall that makes a room feel finished before a single piece of furniture arrives. Mount the TV, pull the sofa in close, and this becomes the room everyone drifts toward. Down the hall, two bedrooms sit quiet at the front of the house, hardwood underfoot, big windows, closets behind bifold doors. They share a full bath with a tiled tub surround and a furniture style vanity. The kitchen is the heart of it. Rich wood cabinetry climbs all the way to the ceiling, tile backsplash catches the light, stainless appliances stand ready, and a pendant glows over the sink window while you rinse. A wine fridge is built into its own nook with open shelving above, so pouring a glass is a three step trip and not a project. A floor to ceiling pantry wall swallows the groceries whole. Behind matching bifold doors, laundry hides in plain sight, two steps from where you already stand. Then the house opens up again. The rear den, bright and easy on fresh flooring, slides open onto the deck and blurs the line between inside and out on a good evening. Just off it, the primary bedroom claims double closets and a bath taken down to the studs and rebuilt: an oversized walk in tile shower with a bench seat, river rock floor, twin shower heads, framed mirror over a dark vanity. A luxury level finish at a price point that rarely gets one. And then the back yard, which is the part that closes the deal. String lights hung over a deck built for grilling. A paver patio and a hot tub, staying with the home, steaming away under a wide umbrella at the edge of hydrangeas and towering banana leaves. A covered gazebo outfitted as a full bar with a mounted TV and a hammock swinging in the shade, all of it staying. A stone fire pit for the cool nights when nobody wants to go inside yet. And past all of it, a wide level fenced lawn with mature trees along the back line and green in every direction. One car drive under garage. Long private driveway with parking for a crowd. Three bedrooms, two baths, 1,432 square feet, and a back yard that stays booked from May straight through October.
