Property Description

Don't miss the virtual tour! Copy/paste the following link: https://youtu.be/UsRYAJ6mc_E What if you could buy a home where somebody else already tacked the ENTIRE honey-do list? This beautifully updated 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom (with finished flex room in basement) home in Rutledge has a 2-car garage and sits on half an acre, but that doesn't tell the real story! Read on... To say that this home has been renovated with precision and maintained with perfection is an understatement! It offers all the beautiful upgrades buyers want to see... from the things you notice immediately to the big-ticket items you'll appreciate for years to come. SEE LAST PIC for the entire improvements list! The entire house was repainted and all new flooring was installed. Lighting has also been updated throughout the home. The kitchen was completely redone in 2024 with new cabinetry, leathered granite countertops, stainless appliances (including a double oven) and lighting. Wiring for a dishwasher is there, but the owner chose not to install. It would be easy to add. Both bathrooms have been updated with shower/tub refinishes, new vanities and countertops, ventilation, and lighting. Downstairs, you'll find an updated basement room with tongue-and-groove wood walls, new doors, ceiling panels, LED lighting and a ceiling fan. The newly epoxied basement/garage floor extends through the 2-car garage, too. Outside, the updates keep coming: new roof (2024), new windows (2025), rebuilt deck, black chain link fencing, front door, lighting and guttering/drainage (2025), plus a freshly sealed front porch and garage floor in 2026. The septic was serviced and a new lid and baffles were installed in 2024, whole house ductwork was cleaned, a new thermostat installed, and the HVAC has been serviced every six months. Landscaping creates curb appeal in both the front and back with newly planted trees well on their way to increasing your privacy. Hot and cold water spigots were added outside (your dogs will thank you for a warm bath!) And then there's the location. Cherokee Lake is practically in your backyard playground, with boating, fishing, kayaking, swimming and public access available throughout the area. The Holston River and Clinch River add even more opportunities for fishing and paddling. When you need more, Morristown is approximately 18 miles away, offering larger shopping, restaurants, medical services and entertainment. Knoxville is an easy drive via Hwy 11W, giving you access to the city while allowing you to come home to the quieter pace, farmland, and lake country of Grainger County. Updated. Maintained. Close to the lake. And somebody else already tackled the honey-do list. All that's left for you to do is choose a wi-fi password and figure out where to put the furniture.
