Set on 1.19 beautifully landscaped acres, this brick ranch has the kind of setting that makes you feel like you're living in your own private park. Mostly wooded and surrounded by mature trees, the property includes two outdoor patios, a fire pit, playground, tree house with electricity, and even a zip line. Built mostly in 1952, the home offers more than 3,200 square feet of living space, all on one level, in the desirable Preston Hills area of Kingsport. It has been well cared for and maintained over the years, while retaining many of the details that give an older home its warmth and personality. The 1997 primary suite addition includes a spacious bathroom, massive walk-in closet, and connected laundry room. There is plenty of room to gather here, with three separate living areas in addition to the three-season sunroom/screened porch and outdoor living spaces. The oversized living room has a wood-burning fireplace, while the knotty pine library has a second fireplace and its own cozy feel. The spacious den serves as a great place for a TV room or other recreational area. The unusually large dining room is well suited for everything from holiday dinners to casual evenings with friends. The sunroom also serves as a lovely setting for a meal and conversation, overlooking the backyard and peaceful property. The eat-in kitchen has plenty of room to work and gather, with an island, double ovens, a second sink, pantry, and KitchenAid refrigerator. Note the original metal cabinets featured in the kitchen, adding to the charm of the home. The two secondary bathrooms also have kept their colorful vintage tile, giving them a little retro personality that fits naturally with the home. Cedar-lined closets found throughout are another nod to the original character. The outdoor spaces are just as inviting as the ones inside. Two patios provide room for dining and relaxing, while the fire pit, playground, tree house, and zip line make the backyard especially enjoyable for family and friends. The tree house even has electricity and a balcony, making it much more than just a playhouse. A Briggs & Stratton generator, semi-conditioned storage/utility room, and two-car covered carport add to the home's practicality. With three bedrooms, three full baths, multiple living areas, and more than 3,200 square feet all on one level, there is room here for everyday life, weekend gatherings, and everything in between. Add in the mature trees, thoughtful landscaping, and the many ways to enjoy the outdoors, and this is a home that offers a wonderful sense of space and privacy and plenty to appreciate both inside and out.
