Description
Welcome to 147 Orchard Rd, a well preserved and meticulously maintained Norris original. You can see the original design in the photos bears quite the resemblance... As you approach the front door check out the original cedar shake siding and cut limestone steps. Stepping inside is like stepping into a different time with the amazing patina of 90 year old hardwood floors as well as unpainted original trim, doors, and shiplap wainscoting. In the living room light pours in through the abundant windows...Welcome to 147 Orchard Rd, a well preserved and meticulously maintained Norris original. You can see the original design in the photos bears quite the resemblance... As you approach the front door check out the original cedar shake siding and cut limestone steps. Stepping inside is like stepping into a different time with the amazing patina of 90 year old hardwood floors as well as unpainted original trim, doors, and shiplap wainscoting. In the living room light pours in through the abundant windows that are also equipped with some very choice plantation shutters for a quick and easy change of mood. Wandering into the kitchen you'll find a very efficient use of space, including a pantry under the stairs. Next is the dining room which would also make a delightful den, again with numerous windows starring every bird in town at the well established bird feeders. Also in this room you'll find a gas heater which, along with the gas log fireplace, can prove very handy in the rare power outage (it does still snow here occasionally...). Off of this room you'll find the laundry/utility room which also features a useful half bathroom. Going upstairs we have the two bedrooms with closets, a full bathroom with walk-in shower, and an 'office' room which also features additional storage both in an alcove off of the room and access to the attic space. Back through the dining room is also a door to a delightful wood finished back porch which then spills out into a patio featuring more original cut limestone walls and steps. The house is surrounded by well established flower beds and other plantings. Across the service drive on the back half of the lot is a storage shed and a nice crop of muscadine grapes coming in on the arbor! Another great feature of this house is the encapsulated crawl space, recently checked and serviced. Of course, included with all this you get the incredibly charming town of Norris and all the wonders that surround it. Paramount of these wonders is the adjacent Norris Watershed, a 2,400 acre sanctuary of nature with miles and miles of trails to explore. There's also Norris Dam State Park and Big Ridge State Park, both within a 20 minute drive. Additionally, the Clinch River and Norris Lake provide world class fishing and boating with multiple public access ramps and marinas minutes away. With easy access to I-75, downtown Knoxville is at hand in about 25 minutes. If you don't already know, the City of Norris is an absolute treasure. Created by TVA in a European Garden Community design, the streets flow with the contours of the land with houses placed just so and sidewalks everywhere, all leading to the town center with its post office, library, restaurants, etc. and the Norris Commons where the town comes together for Norris Day (July 4), Winter Festival, summer Concerts on the Commons, farmers market, etc. Check out cityofnorris.com for more info. It won't take long to see why residents say the best thing about living in Norris is... living in Norris!
