This charming shotgun-style home blends a nod to Southern architectural tradition with comfortable, modern living. Popular throughout the South in the late 1800s and early 1900s, traditional shotgun houses featured a long, narrow footprint with rooms arranged one behind another--a distinctive design that made efficient use of smaller lots. Offering 1,764 square feet, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, this single-story home sits in a peaceful location convenient to restaurants, shopping, medical facilities and schools, with easy access to Knoxville, McGhee Tyson Airport and Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The open-concept kitchen features granite countertops, soft-close cabinetry and a roomy pantry. The spacious great room includes a gas-log fireplace flanked by built-in bookcases and cabinets, opening onto a screened-in rear porch overlooking the fenced-in backyard--perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The generous primary suite offers a walk-in closet and an adjoining bathroom with a walk-in tile shower, ceramic tile flooring and a double vanity with granite countertops. Additional highlights include 9-foot ceilings, 10-foot tray ceilings in the dining area, great room and primary bedroom, waterproof and scratch-resistant luxury vinyl flooring, recessed lighting and ceiling fans. An oversized laundry room with a utility sink and cabinetry, an attached two-car garage, public water, sewer and natural gas complete this inviting home.
