Thick stucco walls, a clay tile inspired roof and arched patio welcome you as you approach the home, giving a glimpse into the Spanish style character that abounds within. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home sitting on a little over 3 acres offers the perfect blend of privacy, historic character and modern conveniences at every turn. After being completely re-plumbed and rewired in 2019 as well as having a new HVAC unit installed, the current owners turned their attention to restoring the historic details that make this home so charming. The living room offers warm tones and an expansive fireplace that invites conversation while both bathrooms retain their original, colorful vintage tiles that highlight the Spanish charm in the home. Food enthusiasts and entertainers will delight in the newly renovated, well-appointed kitchen featuring KitchenAid appliances, stunning granite countertops and ample workspace while the nearby den offers a place for those you love most to gather. Steps away is the formal dining room where you'll find an antique oak built-in and plenty of natural light. Enjoy mountain views from both of the guest bedrooms or relax in your primary bedroom which overlooks the private woods to the rear of the home. This home does not lack any charm, a favorite of which is the hand crafted balcony with wrought iron detailing from which you can watch the sunset over the Smoky Mountains, beautifully capturing the unbridled beauty of the Eastern Tennessee lifestyle. Outside you'll find your private 3 acres are perfect for the downhill mountain biker or outdoor enthusiast in the family who would like their own hiking/biking trails. Expansive outdoor space including a fire pit, a fenced in yard and lush landscaping provide a picturesque escape from hectic city life while still being just 15 minutes away from everything downtown Knoxville has to offer.
